if her budget and pay shrivel for that reason then the people of Massachusetts should march. It is still the people's government .....or is it? Wake up Massachusetts.

I am from Massachusetts What does Mariano have to hide. Is someone dirty in Massachusetts . Of course there is. One man's opinion.

you will never meet them as they will have nothing to do with you

No ! Boston will not.

Your evidence proves nothing. It is your opinion show us the paperwork on letterheads and maybe we will start to believe and in that paper work make sure we are told how many people were polled and what group of people were surveyed. Words in blogs are usually opinion and most of them are non factual do not believe any survey you read unless they have surveyed at least 75% of the New Hampshire population. This is my last reply between you and I as you are not willing to accept anything other than your opinion. MY regards to you and Goodbye

>Thank you .I agree with some of the reply but if you are saying people buy milk every day is addictive then I disagree. In many homes there are families of four or five members and milk does not last long when that many are using it. Also milk is essential for proven good health not destructive cannabis which is not fully approved for good health as of yet according to the federal government and that is proof enough for me. I believe they know more about this drug than you and I. And milk drinkers are not going out killing and stealing to buy Marijuana and do not say that is not true. But thanks for the reply as everyone is entitled to their opinion. P.S. Judging from all the pro marijuana posters in this blog some who say 1/4 oz is not enough for one person I can only say that proves addiction even though that word embarrasses some marijuana abusers. AREN'T THEY SAYING THEY CANNOT GET ENOUGH MARIJUANA ? Also their are other federal reasons why it is banned and why it is said to be addictive. Regards.

Makes sense .I mean why should we let the pushers of recreational marijuana in our state when those pushers are from another state and are just using New Hampshire as a golden money egg. Those out of staters ( most likely from Massachusetts ) who are pushing to open stores in our state are the ones who are going to get rich and they will do so without any care of what recreational marijuana has done to crime in every legalized state in the country.

And plenty of they who are governors have broken the federal law. Some who only allowed marijuana for the votes.

So you have a governor that obeys federal law, That is to be commended not trashed. We don't know how lucky we are to have a governor who follows the rules and does not sway from following rules just to get votes. In other words an honest governor.

Losing money ? Apparently you have not done your homework on that subject. Most so called legal marijuana states report they spend more money due to problems with marijuana than the taxes they collect. Read it for yourself before you say I am a liar.

You Can't !! However ,if you love marijuana so much move to the federally illegal marijuana state called Massachusetts. You can purchase it in stores and on many street corners all over that state.

Unreasonable because it disagrees with you ?????? Now that's unreasonable !!!!

AMEN !!!!

that is a good way to get ALL marijuana illegal in every state.

Hmmm ! you say 74% of the population supports legal recreational weed. O.K. tell us where you get that number and if you say in a survey or poll tell us what survey or poll and then tell us how many people were contacted in that survey or poll and then tell us where that poll was taken. Thank you.

Are you saying 1/4 oz is not enough for one person. Then it must mean one person after taking the 1/4 oz wants more. I say that is addiction and that is why Marijuana is designated as a class 1 drug.

With all due respect surveys mean nothing to me . Why? here is why ,in this case there are 1,388.992.people in New Hampshire. Unless 75 % of that population was surveyed the survey or polls are incomplete and not accurate for the entire states thought. or preferences. Regards P. S. I am familiar with UNH surveys.

70% That is your hope. If you are right PROVE IT ! And don't try to prove it with the same survey.

WHY ?

My extreme thanks to all politicians that voted against the dangerous marijuana recreational bill. It is good some people understand the real truth about this class 1 drug

It is all over the city . Seems as if noone at city hall cares about what their careless decisions is doing to tourism . Without tourism this city is dead . . If this destructive trend keeps up I venture to say within ten years Newburyport will have lost it's tourism charm . Thanks Moby

I like it's old time beauty I dislike the city leaders turning it into ghetto cement sidewalks-cutting down healthy old trees and allowing a historical park to be intruded upon by a commercial restaurant that built an ugly platform on it . NEWBURYPORT Ma.
