Massachusetts H2481 prohibits the sale of dextromethorphan to minors and imposes penalties for violations.
Massachusetts H2481 amends Chapter 94C of the General Laws to prohibit the sale of dextromethorphan to individuals under 18 years old. It mandates that sellers verify the purchaser's age using photo identification. Violations by sellers result in civil penalties, with escalating fines for subsequent offenses. Purchasers under 18 face a $50 fine. The law does not apply to sales made under a valid prescription. It also preempts local ordinances regulating dextromethorphan sales.
