This information pertains only to marijuana for adult use and does not provide guidance on the medical use of marijuana program regulated by the Department of Public Health or the hemp program to be regulated by the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources. The Medical Use of Marijuana Program transferred to the Cannabis Control Commission as of December 23, 2018. The Commission has published guidance with specific recommendations to assist municipalities in creating equitable cannabis policies, as well as a number of other helpful guidance documents regarding host community agreements, farmers, and other topics, which may be found here: https://mass-cannabis-control.com/guidancedocuments/.
The Commission assumed operational control of the medical use of marijuana program from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health on December 23 of 2018.
