Bill overview
This bill proposes to set a minimum age of 21 for entry into events that involve cannabis. Currently, there isn't a specific law in Massachusetts defining the minimum age for participation in cannabis-related events, leaving this area unregulated. The bill aims to establish a consistent standard for these events, aligning with the state’s existing regulations on cannabis consumption and sales. It seeks to ensure that such events are held responsibly and do not target underage individuals.
