Two new ballot initiatives in Massachusetts aim to modify the existing laws on recreational marijuana. The proposed measures, filed by Caroline Cunningham and supported by 14 others, seek to repeal certain legal stipulations while preserving limited adult possession. Adults could still legally possess one ounce of marijuana and up to five grams of concentrates. However, penalties would be introduced for possession exceeding one ounce, with fines and confiscation looming for those over the limit.
The ballot initiatives propose modifying the criteria for the legal possession, distribution, and use of marijuana. The petitions aim to repeal or modify parts of the current marijuana laws in Massachusetts.
The two measures, dubbed "An Act to Restore A Sensible Marijuana Policy", would repeal the regulations governing recreational marijuana, while maintaining legal possession of one ounce of marijuana for adults age 21 and older.
Possession of up to five grams of cannabis concentrates would remain legal, and adults would still be able to give marijuana away, as long as the transfer is not promoted to the public.
Any adult over 21 possessing more than one ounce (but less than two ounces) of marijuana would face civil penalties, including fines of up to $100 and confiscation of the substance.
