CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – Recreational marijuana is legal in Massachusetts. Adults can grow and smoke pot, but they won’t be able to legally buy it until retail stores open in 2018. So how are people getting recreational marijuana?
The 22News I-Team discovered there’s a provision in the current law that allows gifting of certain amounts of marijuana, without an exchange of money. We found several entrepreneurs who are taking advantage of that provision, by offering “marijuana gifts” to customers who purchase items such as t-shirts and empty sandwich bags.
The I-Team dug deeper to find out whether these exchanges are legal, and what’s being done to close the loophole in the law. Watch the 22News I-Team report on MARIJUANA LEGAL LOOPHOLES, Thursday, April 27 on 22News at 6PM.
