  • You can’t use marijuana in public or on federal land.
  • You can have up to 1 oz. on you and up to 10 oz. in your home.
  • You can grow up to 6 plants in your home and up to 12 plants for 2 or more adults in your home.
  • You cannot have an open container of any form of marijuana in your car. It must be stored in a closed container in your trunk or a locked glove compartment.
  • It is illegal to drive under the influence of marijuana.
  • Employers, landlords, cities, and towns may have their own policies about the use of marijuana.

If you choose to use marijuana, use it responsibly. And if you find yourself in a situation where you need an attorney, contact Charles Sclafani, Attorney at Johnson, Sclafani & Moriarty in West Springfield, Massachusetts.
