Senate Bill 3007 also noted that no pardons were revoked during the 2024 calendar year.
Massachusetts legalized marijuana in 2016, permitting adults aged 21 and older to possess up to one ounce and cultivate up to six plants for personal use. The state's first licensed marijuana store opened in November 2018. In November 2024 alone, Massachusetts recorded over $150 million in legal marijuana sales.
