NM woman faces eviction over medical marijuana use
The Associated Press
(AP) — A woman was told to move out of her apartment when the landlord discovered she has marijuana for medical use. Bobbie Wooten, 47, uses a wheelchair because she was paralyzed from the waist down in a car crash several years ago and suffers severe spasms. She joined the state’s medical marijuana program when it went into effect last year. A management representative for Silver Cliffs apartments did a surprise inspection Tuesday and spotted two marijuana plants she has for medical use under a state license, Wooten said. She said the representative returned a short time later with a notice that she had three days to move.

According to the DPFMA Web site, Public Policy Questions, known as PPQs, afford voters the opportunity to communicate to their elected officials their opinions on any given policy issue. Because Question 4 is nonbinding, it’s purpose is only to give elected officials a read on how their constituents feel about a particular subject. “It’s just people having the ability to tell their reps about an issue,” said Bill Downing, president of the Massachusetts Cannabis Reform Coalition. “When your constituency gives you a strong message, you would think they would respond by following their suggestion. I have a feeling often times enough if they don’t, then they will find themselves out of a job. Its a little bit of arm-twisting, I suppose. ”Regardless of how people vote, Webster, who has the deciding voice on the subject, won’t back the proposal.
