Lighting up on the right s What you need to know about the "legal" part of legalization
Where can I use marijuana products?
Who can use recreational marijuana? In Massachusetts, marijuana use is legal for adults 21 and older. Purchasing marijuana for, or knowingly allowing the consumption of marijuana by, individuals under 21 is prohibited.
You may not consume marijuana products in public places or on property owned by the federal government. Additionally, property owners have the right to restrict or prohibit the use of marijuana products on their property. Landlords may prohibit the smoking of marijuana in a rental, but they may not ban tenants from consuming marijuana through other methods, such as edibles. Employers are free to set their own policies on marijuana use by their employees both on and off company property. You can still be fired for consuming marijuana products if it goes against your employer's rules, even if you consumed those products legally.
How much marijuana can one person possess? You may have up to one ounce of marijuana on your person at one time. Of that amount, no more than five grams may be marijuana concentrate. You may have up to ten ounces in your home, as well as any marijuana produced by plants grown and harvested in the home. If there is more than one ounce of marijuana products in your home at a given time, it must be in a locked, secure location.
