Bill Summary

Relative to the THC potency limits for recreational cannabis. Cannabis Policy.

AI Summary

This bill proposes significant restrictions on the potency and composition of recreational marijuana products in Massachusetts. Specifically, it sets strict limits on THC (tetrahydrocannabinol, the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis) content across different product types, including a maximum of 30% THC for marijuana flower and concentrated products intended for inhalation. The bill mandates that marijuana concentrates be limited to 5mg THC per metered serving, require clear measurement and dosing guidelines, and cap package sizes at 20 servings. Additionally, the legislation prohibits marijuana products with added sweeteners, characterizing flavors designed for inhalation, non-cannabis-derived substances that alter product properties, and liquid products exceeding 5mg THC per container. The bill also bans any components designed to enhance the intoxicating effects of marijuana products, reflecting a comprehensive approach to regulating cannabis potency and reducing potential appeal to younger consumers or those seeking more intense psychoactive experiences.
