MA Essex County DA Jonathan Blodgett Repeatedly Lies and Misrepresents the Truth About Marijuana Decrim Question 2. Lies, Lies, Lies.
MA Essex County DA Jonathon Blodgett, Whitney Taylor, Emily Rooney, Steven Epstein, James White discuss MA marijuana decrim initiative Question 2 and MA DA Jonathan Blodgett repeatedly lies, misrepresents, changes the subject and seems a little bit out of it.... Reefer madness. Lie #1. Sorry, Jon, Marijuana is not addictive, nor is it universally stronger today than it was 20 years ago. norml.org norml.org Lie #2 The marijuana reform side was talking about people being in jail for a joint? Not true. Nobody with CSMP or James White for that instance are talking jail. They are talking tax savings and no criminal record for life so people can get a job. Lie #3. It's bogus to say a CORI for pot stops one from getting a job? A CORI is for life unless one tries to get it sealed after waiting 10 years after a CWAF that he talks of. Or immediately after being found innocent. But it doesn't help because as the lawyer Mr. Epstein notes the employer can see that you have a sealed record which immediately raises red flags. Such an arrest for cannabis now in MA for a joint is in fact a life sentence for those who are in specific areas of work. Many jobs check the Cori. Look at boston.com and check the security jobs, "No criminal record," "Cori-Check", hotel chains and just above minimum wage jobs, they all check the Cori. Not able to get a job leads to increased crime. One might think that a DA would not care. You would be wrong. Lie # 4 are no data on decrim in other states ...
