Boston Calling: Police Will Give Tickets For Smoking Marijuana
Some are taking issue with alcohol being allowed but not marijuana.
ALLSTON (CBS) – The three-day music festival, Boston Calling, starts Friday, and Boston Police said they will be giving citations to anyone smoking marijuana. That’s creating some buzz among smokers before the concert gets going.
Joe Gilmore, of the Massachusetts Recreational Consumer Council, said, “I think it’s so hypocritical. As you can imagine, there’s so much more deaths from alcohol every year.”
Massachusetts law says it’s not legal to smoke in a public place.
