Cannabis in Massachusetts

Cannabis is legal in Massachusetts for medical and recreational use. Voters decriminalized possession of small amounts of marijuana in 2008 and approved medical marijuana through a ballot measure in 2012. Recreational marijuana became legal on December 15, 2016, after a ballot initiative that November. The Boston Freedom Rally, an annual September event, supports marijuana legalization and draws thousands of attendees.
