An Act relative to plant medicine
This bill legalizes the possession, use, and sharing of specific psychoactive plant medicines, including psilocybin and mescaline, for adults aged 18 and older in Massachusetts. It allows individuals to grow, ingest, and transport small amounts of these substances, provided they are not sold for financial gain. The law explicitly excludes the weight of the plant material itself from the two-gram limit and defines financial gain as receiving money or valuable items in exchange. By adding a new section to existing state statutes, the legislation removes criminal penalties for these activities while maintaining restrictions on commercial distribution.
