Relative to social consumption sites. Cannabis Policy.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing laws in Massachusetts to provide a process for cities and towns to allow the sale of marijuana and marijuana products for consumption on the premises where sold. The bill allows for a voter initiative petition or local ordinance/bylaw to authorize such sales, and it also defines "licensed marijuana social consumption establishment" as a facility or venue approved by the Cannabis Control Commission for the sale of marijuana for on-site consumption. The bill seeks to give local communities more control over whether to permit social consumption of marijuana within their jurisdiction.
