“By ending the creation of permanent criminal records for minor marijuana offenders, dealing with juvenile marijuana use in a stricter yet more responsible way, and saving taxpayers an estimated $30 million a year, Question 2 will work for Massachusetts. Question 2 creates a civil penalty system for personal possession of an ounce or less of marijuana. It replaces arrest with a citation similar to a speeding ticket, and ends the creation of permanent arrest records known as Criminal Offender Record Information reports.” (10/05/08)
