“We Call it THCno!”

January 28, 2009 – 10:30 am
With all the pomp and circumstance surrounding Barack Obama’s historic win in November’s election and subsequent inauguration last week I forgot to mention that Question 2—a ballot initiative to decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana that came up for vote in November here in Massachusetts—was overwhelmingly approved by voters and went into effect this […]
