Marijuana in Massachusetts is legal for people that are 21 years old and older, but it’s not that simple. There are laws and regulations limiting where you can smoke it and how much you can have or grow. For the basics, we pulled information from Mass.gov’s site, and listed them here:

“You can’t use marijuana in any form (smoking, vaping, edibles, etc.) in public or on federal land.”

For more on this law, here’s an excerpt from The Cannabis Control Commission:

“No, you cannot smoke adult use marijuana in a place where you are prohibited from smoking tobacco and you cannot consume adult use marijuana in a public place. The civil penalty is up to $100. See Penalties for Violations. Cities and towns may pass bylaws or ordinances authorizing exceptions in certain areas for social consumption.”
