DAPA Research Inc. conducted a live telephone poll in November of 600 Massachusetts voters with a margin of error of +/-4%.
The most significant findings:
- Fifty-eight percent support legalizing marijuana and regulating it in the same manner as other agricultural commodities with sales prohibited to underage persons (69% Democrats, 44% Republicans, 54% Other).
- Sixty-two percent are more likely to support legalization if the proposed law would regulate the cultivation and sale of marijuana to adults and tax it in the same manner as alcohol (70% Democrats, 56% Republicans, 60% Other).
- Ø Fifty-four percent oppose the federal government disregarding state law in states legalizing marijuana, while only 35% support the federal government's disregarding state law.
"The data indicates that Massachusetts voters are more ready than voters in any other state to end prohibition and establish reasonable regulation of cannabis cultivation and commerce for all purposes," said Steven S. Epstein, a founder and currently an officer of MassCann. "The data also establishes that if the legislature does not enact a law allowing medical use of marijuana that satisfies the 26 proponents by May the voters will overwhelmingly, perhaps 80%+, approve the initiative for the Humanitarian Medical Use of Marijuana at the ballot box in November."
"Legalization is essential to ending crime created by the prohibition of cannabis," said Cara Crab-Burnham, a member of MassCann's Board of Directors. "It is important to recognize legal venders will card customers and keep it out of the hands of children."

Would you be more or less likely to vote for a ballot question if the question proposed would regulate the cultivation and sale of marijuana to adults and tax it in the same manner as the state currently regulates alcohol - more or less?

| More | 62% | |

People who use marijuana in states where it is legal are being penalized by the federal government because marijuana is still illegal under U.S. law. Should the federal government have the power to disregard state law on the issue of legalizing marijuana?
| N= | 100% | |
| Yes | 35% | |
| No | 54% | |
| Undecided | 11% |
As was the case when racial segregation was the law, it is time for America's legal system to correct itself. Unfortunately, reform voices are muted.

Michael Kors New Arrivals has been made of designers offering their runway wares for order via their own channels following presentations, this is the quickest I have seen a brand go from runway to mass retailer with relatively little fanfare –Michael Kors Tote Bags’s enough to make you wonder if this is the new normal.As for the collection, much of Michael Kors Satchel was classic Kors,.As promised, what appears to be a smaller version of the collection’s Santorini Raffia Totes are nowMichael Kors Walletswith delivery expected by the end of the year. http://www.michaelkors-outletsale.com
