We need farmers growing hemp.
Just another example of liberal tyranny.
No way this stands up to legal challenges
Sounds like a bill of attainder.
Only applies to certain people.
Not surprisingly,in the presidential race, Vice President Kamala Harris was the favorite among Newtonians, who gave her 77 percent of the city’s vote. Former President Donald Trump got 18.3 percent.

Who gives a fig?
Whatever happened to age discrimination among adults?
I hate tobacco. But it’s legal. Outlawing its sale to someone born after x, but not one day before x doesn’t pass the smell test. If it’s legal for one, it’s legal for all. How is this different from, say, outlawing its sale to blacks?
Bet they can still buy pot though...
The war on tobacco continues while they push pot on us now.
A fun fact...a few years ago there was a huge controversy regarding a guy who wanted to open a gun shop in town. Residents and politicians went wild. No way,Jose!,they chanted...in unison,or course.
But just a few months earlier they approved a marijuana shop with no problem at all.
So in this town they approved a shop that was openly violating Federal law (marijuana is totally illegal under Federal law) yet they turned down a shop that specifically protected by an Amendment to the Constitution. s
I guess they’ve never heard of the phrase “equal treatment under the law.”
In a large urban area, a ban like this isn’t going to be very effective. Smokers will buy their smokes in Wellesley or Needham.
It certainly seems like this would crash and burn in a sensible court.
I’m guessing whoever owns a tabaco store five foot outside the city limits is going to be doing some extra business...
The American Indian tribes that have reservations near the towns that implement that ban are going to make a fortune.
In other words, you have to be 21.
Golly gee, the old age of majority.
Huj but pot is okay, to these dems.
23 city council members??? What on earth for!
While I dislike smoking (my mother died from lung cancer) I don’t believe they can outlaw it. If we’re gonna allow alcohol and pot, the smoking lamp is still lit.
