AI Summary
This bill requires the opinion of the Massachusetts Attorney General on several important legal questions regarding the state's marijuana (cannabis) laws. These questions address whether the laws legalizing the production, regulation, sale, and consumption of marijuana in Massachusetts violate the Massachusetts and U.S. Constitutions, as well as federal drug laws. The bill cites several constitutional provisions and legal precedents that may conflict with the state's marijuana laws, and it seeks the Attorney General's expert opinion on the legality of these laws. The goal is to determine whether the state's marijuana laws are "null and void" due to these potential constitutional and legal issues.
