John, Despite the growing trend of states loosening restrictions on marijuana, MA is taking another look. The Coalition for a Healthy Massachusetts is leading the charge to roll back the state’s recreational pot usage, and it's about time. Marijuana is addictive, linked to severe health problems, and has resulted in a staggering 1,400 additional car-crash deaths per year and the legalization of marijuana has only exacerbated these issues, with a 25% increase in usage among adults and 10% among adolescents. In Massachusetts alone, one-quarter of kids aged 16-20 use marijuana every month, and 13% use it almost daily. This is not just a moral issue – it's a public health crisis that demands our attention. These statistics are just the tip of the iceberg in a litany of underlying issues that are set to arise as more usage is permitted. We cannot stand for this any longer. Get our country back on the healthy track by signing your name in support of Massachusetts’ rollback of marijuana use. The marijuana industry has generated over $8 billion in revenue for Massachusetts since 2016, creating a powerful lobby that will stop at nothing to protect its interests. We can’t afford to let the pursuit of profit cloud our judgment. It's time to put the well-being of our children and communities first. The tide is turning, and it's up to us to seize this moment. According to recent polling, support for legalized marijuana has begun to wane, with Republican support plummeting to 40% in 2025. This shift in public opinion presents an opportunity, and now is the time to act. – Advancing American Freedom
