SpeNceR BUELL @tetob0s Rep. Dave Rogers said Wednesday he isn’t plan- ning on getting a marijuana legalization bill through the State House this year. “Candidly, the likeli- hood of legislative action on this issue during this legislative session is not ‘great,” Rogers told Metro. But the Cambridge Democrat was at a hear ing today for a bill he's sponsoring that would mimic the ideas in a pro- pot ballot question that has so far passed hurdles to get on the ballot in No- vember, The idea, Rogers said, ‘was get state lawmakers up to speed on legal bud in Massachusetts, a state that advocates hope will ‘welcome a legal marketplace for marijuana in a few years’ time.

Rogers joined Dick Evans, chairman of the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol, at a hearing on the bill Wednesday. Evans’ organization has proposed making it legal to buy and use marijuana and edible druglaced products in private, to smoke in can: nabis “cafés” and to grow six plants per person at home. It also proposes setting up a Cannabis Control Commission, taxing marijuana sales via a 3.75 percent excise tax on top of sales tax, plus a local tax of up to 2 percent. Voters could vote on those ideas later this year. ‘The question for law: makers, said Campaign chairman Dick Evans The Holistic Center You Can’t Take the THC out of quality HealTHCare CALL TO QUALIFY FOR YOUR ‘MEDICAL CANNABIS CARD: Wi cu esr! eprtnen fib Hech CDP) eel neers poder Ce Seve: Rapin Che tlt 320 WASHINGTON STREET, SUITE 200 ~ BRIGHTON CENTER 617-787-7400 www.THCevaluation.com LOCATED NEAR ST.

Right’ now, the state House does not appear friendly to marijuana. House’ Speaker Robert DeLeo does not support legalization, nor does Gov. Charlie Baker. The Senate's president, Stan, Rosenberg, hasn't said publicly what his stance is on the issue, But the road to post: prohibition here could still lead through Beacon Hill. Should the ballot measure pass this. year, lawmakers could decide to tweak some aspects of it, The Campaign also has an enemy in Bay State Repeal, the group that led an unsuccessful bid to win full legaliza tion, but with fewer tax es and less bureaucracy. Steven Epstein, its press secretary, called the new taxand-regulate focus of legalization a disappointment, and made his resentment clear. “I loathe it,” he told Metro. “And Ihope the people of Massach setts vote it down.
