An Act concerning the legalization of certain natural plants and fungi

This bill seeks to legalize the possession, use, and cultivation of small amounts of specific natural plants and fungi by adults aged 21 and older in Massachusetts. It removes criminal and civil penalties for individuals holding up to 2 grams of these substances without selling them, ensuring that such activities do not result in fines, jail time, or the loss of public benefits like housing or student aid. Additionally, the legislation prevents local towns from creating their own rules that contradict these state protections and mandates that records of these activities be kept separate from criminal offender databases.
