Law enforcement to address marijuana legalization
About half a dozen House members will host a briefing with a Colorado narcotics enforcement officer and other law enforcement experts on the potential impact of the legalization of recreational marijuana in Massachusetts on Wednesday.
Colorado was the first state to legalize the adult use of marijuana and a special Senate committee spent nearly a week in the Centennial State last month to study the impacts of legalization. Reps. Josh Cutler, Jim Cantwell, Tom Calter, John Rogers, Timothy Whelan, Matthew Muratore and Hannah Kane are sponsoring the briefing.
"We believe it important to have the perspective of law enforcement to learn first-hand about what kind of impact this might have in our state," Cutler wrote in a letter to colleagues.
The guest speakers are Sergeant Jim Gerhart, Vice President Colorado Narcotic Enforcement Officer's Association; Matt Gutwill, President New England Narcotic Enforcement Officers Association; and Police Chief John Carmichael, New England Narcotic Enforcement Officers Association Board of Directors.
