Understanding Massachusetts Cannabis Laws

Massachusetts has unique cannabis laws for marijuana enthusiasts. Before visiting a dispensary, make sure you meet the following requirements:

  • You must be 21 years old.
  • You must have a valid, government-issued photo ID.

If you are looking to purchase medical cannabis in Massachusetts, you will need a valid medical marijuana card.


What Are the Cannabis Purchase & Possession Limits in Massachusetts?

Both residents and out-of-state visitors are allowed to purchase and possess cannabis products in Maryland. However, there are limits that shoppers must abide by.

Purchase and possession limits are the same in Massachusetts, but there are some nuances that you need to consider. The Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission allows recreational shoppers to purchase:

  • Up to 1 ounce of marijuana products; BUT
  • No more than 5 grams in the form of concentrates or edibles.

You also have the option of doing a combination of those limits. For example, you can have half an ounce of cannabis, two single-gram vape cartridges, and a couple edible chocolate bars. Don’t worry about accidentally exceeding the state limit–our budtenders keep track when ringing you up in our store.
