H 152 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act to study the impacts of cannabis

This bill creates a 15-member commission to study cannabis impacts in Massachusetts, focusing on public safety comparisons to alcohol standards for intoxication and impairment. The commission will examine cannabis usage trends, product strength, consumption methods (including illegal products), and health effects, then recommend legal intoxication limits for driving, workplace safety, and measurement systems. The commission must report findings and recommendations to state lawmakers by December 2026. This is a study bill only - no immediate policy changes are made - and it directly affects how future cannabis regulations might be developed.
