HD 190 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to establishing a minimum age of entry for cannabis related events

This bill requires organizers of cannabis-related events (like conventions or educational forums promoting marijuana use) in Massachusetts to ensure all attendees are at least 21 years old. It directly affects event organizers holding such gatherings, excluding youth prevention programs and substance misuse education from the rule. Organizers must verify attendees' ages using specific ID types (e.g., driver's licenses, passports), and non-compliance carries a maximum $2,000 fine, though reliance on acceptable IDs creates a legal presumption of due care.
