Opponents of Question 4 paint it as a measure that will bring marijuana to Massachusetts, make it available to minors, and create a large marijuana industry in the state. In fact, we have marijuana, it's readily available to minors, and there's already a large marijuana industry. The only...

This is a call to action to mothers across California to use your moral authority to speak out to end a broken system of marijuana prohibition that has been tearing our families apart for far too many decades. It may seem counter-intuitive that responsible mothers are promoting marijuana...
