So I was looking at the law and couldn't find some things:

Definition of a plant. - am I going to get vanned for having seedlings that I expect some to die? If plant a flowering plant? You get the idea.

Household. - If I lived in an apartment building, what does the household count as. Could a commune pool their resources together, or would that violate it? Would 3 houses be able to grow all in one remote location together?

Current law makes no distinction between a seedling, a plant in veg, or one in flower. So yes, anything with roots would be considered a plant.

There are almost 30 laws being proposed currently in the senate however. One would repeal the whole law, one would basically make homegrwing impossible (you would be allowed 3 plants in veg, three in gflower BUT you will be held to a max of total weight - the law doesn't say dry flower weight, it doesn't distinguish stalk from bud, wet or dry). Yet another will kick the legal age up to 25.

If you live in MA, call/write your senator and rep and tell them to NOT support sen lewis's or any biulls gutting prop 4.

It will all go away with a stroke of the republican governors pen.

Ugh. Will do. I'll go playing around the state government site and see if there are any laws not trying to make the legalization useless.

None of these are likely to pass, as most have a minority following. Also, Baker seems relatively level-headed as far as I'm concerned, and has shown to value the will of the voters. He recently vetoed a raise for himself and the other state law makers. The best thing to do would be to call him and make your voice heard. Yes, he is against pot, but has stated before that he would uphold the voters will.

I don't share your optimism. This is a conservative legislature. Most of them would be R's in any other state, but use the D to get votes. Progressive they are NOT.

Don't share my optimism, call your representatives and make your voice heard. Be part of the process.

It says residence. I'm pretty sure, under mgl, each apartment is a residence.

Is this just on setting up shops to buy? It mentions recreational use is not affected or growing. Is there a way they can ban pot all together in my town, Shrewsbury, MA
No. The state law allows the towns the right to decide whether they want retail sales or commercial grow facilities in their town. It doesn't give them the power to regulate home growing or consumption.

It doesn't mean that local pd's are at all happy with the new bill though. They hate it. They hate it even more than they hated decriminalization. They hate it with a passion.

Don't give them a reason to visit you. They can easily find a way to jam you up if that is their goal, even if you are legal. And, at least several of the local leo's in my area have shown it to be not just a goal, but an obsession..

Pick any/all of the towns surrounding shrewsbury with a borough in their name. There is a multi town task force that is very active. These are the guys that will combine weed from multiple passengers and tag them all over the limit under constructive possession.
