A Medical Marijuana initiative has never been defeated.
Decriminalization of possession is another story.

Massachusetts now the 14th state that has decriminalized minor possesion of MJ. 12 of them got the job done in legislature and/or via initiative in the late 70s and early 80s.

I knew all that. I actually expected the Mass. initiative would pass as the non-binding shit has been passed multiple times by big margins if I remember correctly.

Depends on the circumstance...if its because I'm driving along at night....and the cop hasn't hit his DUI quota yet...no.

If I just came from a Mosque known for plotting a Fort Dix bombing...maybe.
