Bill Summary
Relative to social consumption sites
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend existing Massachusetts law to allow for the establishment of "licensed marijuana social consumption establishments" where marijuana and marijuana products can be sold and consumed on the premises. It provides a process for cities and towns to authorize such establishments either through a local voter initiative petition or by local ordinance or bylaw, without the need for a voter initiative. The bill also adds licensed marijuana social consumption establishments to the list of exceptions to the state's ban on indoor public smoking.
