TOWNS WITHOUT REEFER MAD WARRANT ARTICLES (Updated June 26 at 6:15 AM)

As of now, we have identified 169 towns whose town meeting warrant(s) are/were not infected with the madness and 16 towns who took no action, indefinitely postponed or defeated the proposed by-law.
This brings to 185 the number of towns known to be uninfected or cured.

We identify them by reviewing: websites for town meeting warrants for annual and special town meetings; online newspaper stories about town meetings that either do not report the topic was on the warrant or report it was not approved; and, finally, whether the town has submitted bylaws for review to the AG and a marijuana bylaw is not included.

A number of towns remain weeks away from meeting so their warrants are not yet posted. 

Also, not every town in the commonwealth has a website, and not every town maintains their site well.

NOTE: THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE MUNICIPALITIES WITH CITY FORMS OF GOVERNMENT, e.g., Gloucester and Worcester who rejected proposals.
