Common questions about MA cannabis laws and growing
Yes, cannabis seeds are legal to purchase and possess in Massachusetts for adults 21 and over. Seeds are considered a cannabis product and fall under the state's recreational cannabis laws enacted in 2016.
Yes, Massachusetts allows home cultivation of up to 6 plants per adult, with a maximum of 12 plants per household. Plants must be kept in a locked space that is not visible from public areas.
Fast-flowering strains (8-9 weeks) and autoflowers perform best in Massachusetts due to the shorter growing season. Look for mold-resistant varieties, especially in coastal areas where humidity is higher. Northern Lights, Blue Dream Auto, and Critical Mass are popular choices.
Start germination indoors in late March to early April, then transplant outdoors after the last frost (typically mid-May). This gives plants maximum vegetative growth time before flowering begins in late summer.
