Question 2 backers tout support from religious leaders

The Committee for Sensible Marijuana Policy, the group behind the ballot measure that would decriminalize possession of less than an ounce of marijuana, said Monday that it has received the endorsement of 51 clergy members across Massachusetts.

The news comes two days after the ballot measure's opponents announced that former Boston Mayor Ray Flynn mailed a letter denouncing Question 2 to 2,200 Catholic parishes across the commonwealth.
