At home, 10 oz plus cannabis from lawful homegrown plants is allowed at homeprotected.[@4] For retail sales, 2 oz flower equals 10 g of active THC in concentrates, including tinctures, or 1,000 mg of active THC in edibles. Mixed purchases share one combined equivalent allowance; these figures measure THC content, not concentrate or edible gross weight. The September 2026 regulations retain this retail calculation.[@5,6]

Section 30(B)(1) names the misdemeanor overages; (B)(2) lists “more than eight ounces of cannabis, sixty-four grams of cannabis extract or three thousand two hundred milligrams of edible cannabis”. The modifier's scope at exactly 64 g / 3,200 mg is unclear. No authoritative judicial clarification was established, so the profile explicitly preserves that boundary uncertainty instead of claiming an inclusive threshold. Amounts above it carry fourth-degree felony exposure. Gifts require adult recipients, lawful acquisition and no financial consideration, with the regulator applying possession limits.

+
+Read current [G.L. c.94G §7](https://malegislature.gov/Laws/GeneralLaws/PartI/TitleXV/Chapter94G/Section7), operative clauses effective 19 April 2026, Administrative Order 6 of that date, and Commission [935 CMR 500 effective 11 September 2026](https://masscannabiscontrol.com/document/935-cmr-500-000-adult-use-of-marijuana-effective-09-11-26-pdf/), §§500.140(3)–(4), 500.146(2), printed pp.103–104,127. The current regulations retain a two-ounce combined retail allowance and per-ounce conversion to five grams active THC in concentrate or 500 mg active THC in edibles, yielding 10 g / 1,000 mg at two ounces. Concentrate gross weight is not THC content; mixed purchases share the equivalent allowance. Topicals/ointments are exempt from the daily retail limit. Medical-use rules are separate.

+The statute applies Commission product equivalence to ordinary possession and gifts. The numerical conversion reviewed directly governs retail licensees, so the text scopes it to retail rather than inventing an independently verified private-gift formula. Gifts require adult 21+ parties, no remuneration and no public advertising/promotion. Retained ten ounces at home plus lawful on-premises harvest. No existing April-2026 Massachusetts history entry was found to correct; no new score event is inferred.
