H 1754 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to plant medicine

This bill would legalize the possession, use, and sharing of specific plant medicines, including psilocybin, psilocyn, dimethyltryptamine, ibogaine, and mescaline, for adults aged 18 and older in Massachusetts. It allows individuals to grow, ingest, or transport up to two grams of these substances, provided the exchange is free of financial gain and excludes the weight of the plant material itself. By amending state law, the measure removes criminal penalties for these activities while maintaining restrictions on commercial sales and use by minors.
