Why vote No?

Regulation works.

Repeal doesn't. Question 8 would dismantle Massachusetts' regulated adult-use cannabis market, not fix it.

Question 8 would repeal the laws that legalize, regulate, and tax retail adult-use sales. It would end licensed recreational sales and eliminate adult-use home cultivation, while limited adult possession would remain legal and the regulated medical marijuana program would be unaffected.

Massachusetts can keep strengthening public-health rules without walking away from testing, age checks, accountable businesses, and public oversight.

What is Question 8?

Question 8, “Prohibit Retail Sale of Adult Recreational Use Marijuana,” is a proposed Massachusetts law that would repeal the laws legalizing and regulating the retail sale of adult-use marijuana and end lawful adult-use home cultivation. Limited adult possession would remain legal, and the state’s regulated medical marijuana program would not be affected.

How do I keep adult-use cannabis legal?

Vote NO on Question 8. A No vote keeps the current legal, tested, and regulated adult-use retail market in place.

Does Question 8 affect medical cannabis?

No. Question 8 does not affect the state’s regulated medical marijuana program. It targets the adult-use retail market, repealing licensed recreational sales while leaving medical cannabis and limited adult possession in place. Review the official state materials for the complete ballot language.
