Description
The Massachusetts Marijuana Legalization Initiative, also known as Question 4 passed on the November 8, 2016. The law legalized recreational marijuana cultivation and possession, including use and possession of up to one ounce of marijuana in public by people 21 years and older. On July 28, 2017, Governor Charles D. Baker signed into law Chapter 55 of the Acts of 2017, An Act to ensure safe access to marijuana. Our Standard Operating Procedures: Massachusetts - Cultivation covers all of these regulations.
