H 104 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to seeds

This bill amends Massachusetts laws to explicitly include cannabis seeds as legal products under the state's cannabis regulatory framework. It directly affects the Department of Cannabis Control and individuals or businesses involved in the sale, distribution, or possession of cannabis seeds. The legislation achieves this by adding specific language to existing statutes that currently list other cannabis-related items, ensuring seeds are treated similarly to other regulated cannabis products. By making this textual change, the bill clarifies the legal status of cannabis seeds without altering the broader operational rules for the industry.
