An Act relative to cannabis use by first responders

This bill directs Massachusetts' Cannabis Control Commission to study barriers preventing first responders (like police and emergency personnel) from legally using cannabis, including drug testing policies, agency rules, federal law conflicts, and cannabis' potential for treating trauma-related conditions. The study will examine current policies in other states, treatment efficacy for mental health issues, and legal implications under federal law. It requires a detailed report to multiple legislative committees by December 2026. The bill does not change existing laws but mandates research to inform future policy decisions.
