州长希利呼吁对大麻 repeal 公投案投反对票 民调显示71%选民反对
马萨诸塞州州长莫拉·希利10月4日在WCVB电视台《On the Record》节目中明确表态，将在11月3日公投中对第8号提案投反对票，并呼吁选民跟进。第8号提案名为《恢复合理大麻政策法》，若通过将废除该州娱乐大麻零售销售和家庭种植的法律，仅保留医用大麻项目，按提案自有条款将于2028年1月1日生效。
新罕布什尔大学贝州民调（9月17日至21日）显示，71%的马萨诸塞州选民计划对第8号提案投反对票，仅24%支持。马萨诸塞州2016年经公投实现娱乐大麻合法化，2026年9月零售销售额累计突破100亿美元大关。根据州官方选民指南，2025财年大麻税为州政府带来约2.8亿美元、为地方政府带来约5000万美元收入。
希利表示，大麻产业是该州重要产业，“我们必须把娱乐大麻留在马萨诸塞”。其共和党竞选对手迈克尔·米诺格也认为“现在废除为时已晚”。

Gov. Healey Urges No Vote on Cannabis Repeal Referendum; Poll Shows 71% of Voters Oppose
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey said on WCVB's "On the Record" on Oct. 4 that she will vote no on Question 8 in the Nov. 3 referendum and urged voters to do the same. Titled the Restore Reasonable Cannabis Policy Act, Question 8 would repeal the state's recreational cannabis retail sales and home-grow laws, leaving only the medical cannabis program, with an effective date of Jan. 1, 2028 under its own terms.
A University of New Hampshire Bay State Poll (Sept. 17–21) found 71% of Massachusetts voters plan to vote no on Question 8, with only 24% in favor. Massachusetts legalized recreational cannabis by referendum in 2016, and cumulative retail sales topped $10 billion in September 2026. According to the state's official voter guide, cannabis taxes brought the state about $280 million and local governments about $50 million in fiscal year 2025.
Healey said the cannabis industry is a major state industry: "We need to keep recreational cannabis in Massachusetts." Her Republican challenger Michael Minogue also believes "it is too late to repeal it now."
