Would You Want a Marijuana Dispensary in Milton?

Medical marijuana is coming to Massachusetts. The question is: where?
The medical marijana ballot initiative that passed in last Tuesday's election with 63 percent voter approval means that up to 35 medical marijuana dispensaries can open up in the state in 2013. Here in Milton, 57 percent of voters supported the initiative.
The new law goes into effect January 1, but requires rules and regulations be set up by the Department of Public Health.
