Marijuana debate intensifying ahead of Nov. 8 vote

As the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce on Monday joined those opposing a ballot question legalizing marijuana for adult use, the question's supporters knocked reports that casino magnate Sheldon Adelson is giving $1 million to the campaign pushing to defeat the proposal.
"Massachusetts voters are smart enough to know that Sheldon Adelson, funder of right wing Super PACs, does not represent Massachusetts values. Now he supports a position out of line with the majority of Massachusetts voters. It's time for more sensible marijuana policy," Rep. Jay Livingstone of Boston said in a statement released by the Yes on 4 campaign.
