>I live in a very liberal town (my guess is that about 80% vote liberal). In 2016 when Massachusetts voted to legalize recreational marijuana, the residents of the town overwhelmingly voted For (that is, for legalizing pot). Now, this year. When a family wanted to open a store to sell the marijuana for a recreational use, the liberals of the town put an Article to amend the zoning bylaw and Ban Recreational Marijuana Retailers. Funny thing that during the town meeting (took place this week) the conservatives voted not to pass the article (that is to allow the store to be open) and the liberals to pass (to ban the sale of pot in town).

Neither side has a monopoly on hypocrisy.
