Bill > H183

This bill increases the legal cannabis possession limit in Massachusetts from one ounce to two ounces for individuals. The bill modifies two existing sections of Massachusetts law: Section 7 of Chapter 94G and Section 34 of Chapter 94C. Specifically, it allows individuals to possess, use, purchase, process, and/or manufacture up to two ounce equivalents of marijuana and related products, which includes marijuana, marijuana concentrate, edibles, beverages, and other ingestible cannabis products. The bill also updates language related to marijuana possession to align with recent expungement laws, ensuring that the two-ounce limit corresponds with the amount of marijuana that can be expunged from a person's criminal record under Section 100K of Chapter 276. Additionally, the bill requires the relevant commission to update or create new regulations to implement these changes within 365 days of the act's effective date, ensuring a smooth transition to the new possession limits.
