S 54 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act for interstate commerce of cannabis seeds

This bill modifies Massachusetts state laws to explicitly allow the interstate commerce of cannabis seeds. It achieves this by amending existing regulations in three separate chapters of the General Laws to remove previous restrictions on transporting seeds across state lines. The changes specifically add language permitting the sale and transport of seeds from the Cannabis sativa L. plant, while maintaining a distinction between viable seeds and those that have been sterilized to prevent germination.
