As introduced, these proposals seek to legally regulate the commercial production and distribution of marijuana for adults over 21 years of age. These measures would impose licensing requirements and excise taxes on the retail sale of cannabis.
Adults who possess or grow marijuana for personal use, or who engage in the non-profit transfer of cannabis, would not be subject to taxation under the law.
House Bill 2929 is now before the Joint Committee on Revenue. Senate Bill 1801 has been referred to the Joint Committee on the Judiciary.
House Bill 2929 and Senate Bill 1801 propose to make Massachusetts one of the first in the nation to enact a rational public policy for the control and regulation of marijuana. Please show your support for this measure by contacting your state elected officials and urging them to support these common sense proposals. If your elected officials are members of the Joint Committee on Revenue or the Joint Committee on the Judiciary, then it is especially important that they hear from you.
