Eliminate Recreational Marijuana Sales and Allow Limited Possession Initiative
Eliminate Recreational Marijuana Sales and Allow Limited Possession Initiative
Massachusetts · November 3, 2026
What this measure does
Repeal laws that permit the sale of recreational marijuana and the personal cultivation of cannabis in homes
A yes vote means
Recreational marijuana stores close and home growing becomes illegal, though small personal possession remains allowed.
A no vote means
Recreational marijuana sales and home cultivation stay legal as they are now.
Simple explanation
Right now, you can legally buy marijuana at stores and grow it at home. This measure would shut down those stores and ban home growing, kind of like if your town decided to close all the coffee shops and said you can't brew coffee at home anymore. You could still have a small amount for personal use, but you'd have no legal way to buy it.
