Vote NO in November

Why We Made No Flavor.

You’re holding a bottle with a statement on it. Here’s the story behind it.

Limited Edition

We made No Flavor because Question 8 would end legal adult-use sales at every recreational cannabis store in Massachusetts — including the ones that carry Good Vibes.

We could have just posted about it. Instead, we put it on the bottle. If repeal passes, the regulated adult-use market that keeps products like ours on shelves disappears.

No Flavor is our way of saying: we’re not sitting this one out.

Official Question 8 Designation

“Prohibit Retail Sale of Adult Recreational Use Marijuana”

What a yes does: ends licensed adult-use retail sales and home growing while preserving medical cannabis and limited possession.

What the Repeal Actually Does

If Question 8 passes on November 3, 2026, H.5002 takes effect January 1, 2028:

Every recreational cannabis store must stop adult-use sales
Growing cannabis at home becomes illegal again
Selling recreational cannabis becomes a crime again
Future adult-use state and local tax revenue ends
Hundreds of adult-use establishments lose their legal framework; thousands of jobs are on the line
The Cannabis Social Equity Trust Fund is eliminated

What remains legal: Medical cannabis continues. Eligible adult-use businesses may seek medical-only licenses. For adults 21 and older, possession of one ounce or less remains noncriminal; possession of more than one ounce and up to two ounces remains a $100 civil offense.

What We Lose

$1.65B Adult-use sales in calendar 2025

~$280M FY2025 state cannabis sales and excise tax revenue

Nearly $2B State and local tax revenue since adult-use sales began

$26.5M FY2025 social-equity grants to 181 Massachusetts businesses

Where That Tax Money Goes

15% of the Marijuana Regulation Fund is transferred first to the Cannabis Social Equity Trust Fund
The remaining fund supports regulation and statutory priorities including public health and treatment, education, public safety, local government, agriculture, and research
Municipalities may adopt a local-option cannabis tax of up to 3%
Qualifying social-equity host communities receive separate distributions

Who’s Behind This?

Coalition for a Healthy Massachusetts is the ballot-question committee pushing repeal. Its 2025 OCPF filings show it received $1.55 million, all from SAM Action, Inc., which reported an Alexandria, Virginia address. The committee’s bank is also in Virginia.

It paid $1,403,925 to GroundGame Political Solutions in Missouri for signature gathering and $20,000 to ACE Campaign Consulting in Delaware for campaign consulting.

In 2016, 1,769,328 Massachusetts voters, 53.7% of votes cast on Question 4, voted to legalize adult-use cannabis. Question 8 asks Massachusetts to reverse that decision.

What the Data Says

63% of Massachusetts residents opposed repeal; 20% supported it in the UNH Bay State Poll fielded February 12–16, 2026 (n=670; ±3.8%).

84% of cannabis obtained by Massachusetts respondents in 2023 came from legal or authorized sources on average, up from 56% in 2019.

$26.5M in FY2025 Cannabis Social Equity Trust Fund grants went to 181 Massachusetts social-equity businesses.

$0 in Massachusetts-source receipts was reported by the repeal committee through December 31, 2025.
