Citizen Scandal: Massachusetts Decriminalizes Weed

They’ve been saying it for centuries, but Massachusetts sure knows how to party. First they legalized gay marriage—leading to a boom in tourist dollars and massive benefits for the wedding industry. Now they’ve decriminalized marijuana, which should inspire a drastic increase in the number of out-of-state college applicants.

While possession is still illegal after yesterday’s passing of Question 2, those caught with less than an ounce of the sticky-icky will only have to pay a fine of one hundred dollars and give up the grass (they will not receive a criminal record). Underage enthusiasts will be fined $1,000, do some community service and receive counseling. Despite opposition from state politicans, the initiative passed 65% to 35%. Again, Massachusetts sure knows how to party.
