Marijuana was just legalized for adult-use in Massachusetts. However, there is still much public uncertainty as to what is and what is not legal.

This semester they’re focused on educating their campus on compliance with our new marijuana policies.

Hosted by Students for Sensible Drug Policy and the Massachusetts Recreational Consumer Council.
