tell your doctor you have terrible migraines....which I do and once Massachusetts legalizes medical use of cannabis, I'll be first in line to get my medicine, or I'll just move to Rhode Island, Maine or Vermont.

Possession
25 g or less (first offense) civil citation $100
25 g or less (second offense) civil citation $200
