Massachusetts H5002 proposes to modify marijuana laws by allowing possession of small amounts without penalty and repealing existing regulations.

Massachusetts H5002, titled "An Act to Restore A Sensible Marijuana Policy," seeks to change the legal landscape for marijuana in the state. The bill proposes to decriminalize the possession of up to 1 ounce of marijuana for individuals aged 21 and older, with possession of amounts between 1 and 2 ounces subject to a $100 civil penalty and forfeiture. For those under 21, possession of up to 2 ounces would be a civil infraction. The bill also aims to repeal existing laws regulating and taxing marijuana, focusing instead on medical use.
