Question Two, the law decriminalizing marijuana possession, goes into effect after midnight Thursday.

Although the question passed with about 65% of voters in approval, controversy still surrounds this piece of legislation.

Advocates of Question Two are fighting towns that have recently enacted by-laws or ordinances allowing police to treat possession of marijuana as a misdemeanor offense.

Question Two replaces criminal charges for small amounts of pot with a $100 fine.

Residents who voted for the law say the time for arguing the measure has passed.

Ray Gorman of Wilbraham said, "My feeling is there are a lot worse issues that we need to get people in jail for."

Gary Maceyka of Holyoke tells 22News, "We went to the voting booth and said what we wanted to. Obviously, Massachusetts, including myself, believes it should not be as criminalized as it was."
