Establishes a minimum age of 21 for attending cannabis-related events in Massachusetts.
This bill amends Chapter 94G of the General Laws to set a minimum age of 21 for attending cannabis-related events, forums, conventions, or conferences in Massachusetts. The organizer must ensure attendees meet this age requirement. Exemptions apply to marijuana use prevention programs for youth, youth educational programs, and substance misuse programs related to marijuana use. Failure to comply with the age requirement results in a fine of up to $2,000, though this can be rebutted if the organizer reasonably relied on certain forms of identification.
