Massachusetts Marijuana Law?

I heard that there was a law in Massachusetts stating that you could possess no more than a quarter of an ounce of weed because it proves you're not a distributor or such. is that true
?

I doubt it. You will probably just get charged with simple posession instead of intent to distribute...

haven't heard that about Massachusetts but i do know that 1 oz or less in California, Oregon and Washington states is only a misdemeanor that will get you a ticket and a very small fine (50-100$), whereas in most states any amount is going to get you sent to jail.

check your state gov web page, should have links to laws there.

I'm with the first person.. I take marinol (a THC pill) for all my stomach problems.. the real thing would work much better if it was legal!

I heard it was true about all states not just Massachusettes.

Massachusetts makes possession of marijuana in any amount a crime. However there is a threshold amount of marijuana that will allow a prosecutor to establish that you have the intent to distribute. This is likely just a presumption which can be rebutted if you can show no intent to actually distribute. Other factors a court is likely to consider would be whether the individual had the marijuana in seperate bags, or had a scale as these tend to show an intent to distribute.
