An Act to Restore a Sensible Marijuana Policy

Plain-English Summary

This ballot initiative proposes to prohibit adult-use cannabis sales in Massachusetts, nearly a decade after voters approved legalization. It aims to reverse the current regulated cannabis market. The initiative has met initial signature thresholds and is currently under legislative review.

What each outcome does

IF YES PASSES

If this initiative passes, the sale of adult-use cannabis in Massachusetts would become illegal, effectively returning the state to a prohibitionist policy regarding recreational marijuana sales. Adults would still be allowed to possess and gift up to an ounce of marijuana.

IF NO PASSES

If this initiative fails, the current legal framework for adult-use cannabis sales in Massachusetts would remain in place. The regulated cannabis industry would continue to operate, generating tax revenue and maintaining existing jobs.
