Mass Patients

Celebrating 10 years of medical cannabis in Massachusetts while protecting qualifying patients and longevity of our state's medical program.

[Mass Patients @mapatients]

The federal government has moved state-licensed medical cannabis to Schedule III.

The future of cannabis policy is moving toward recognition of legitimate medical use.

Patients can take part in that future by enrolling in the Massachusetts Medical Use of Marijuana Program.

[Mass Patients @mapatients]

Is cannabis your medicine?

One appointment gets you certified by a clinician and gives you immediate access with a temporary medical card.

Join the Massachusetts Medical Use of Marijuana Program today!

Mass. medical cannabis patients ask lawmakers to consider "universal" access

Massachusetts is home to 79,000 medical cannabis patients, and some of the most vocal ones say their access to tax-free cannabis is diminishing as more medical facilities close.

Tax revenue may strengthen budgets.

But medical cannabis strengthens lives.

Public policy should prioritize patients over profit.

Always.

[Mass Patients @mapatients]

Medical cannabis patients need protection.

MPAA is advocating at the State House and we’re building a core group of 30 monthly supporters to help sustain this work.

Be one of the 30.

Kicked off House and Senate negotiations on an Act to Modernize Cannabis Laws yesterday. Looking forward to working with my fellow Conference Committee members to get a strong piece of legislation to the Governor's Desk.

President Trump: “Today, I am pleased to announce that I will be signing an executive order to reschedule marijuana from a Schedule 1 to a Schedule 3 controlled substance… we have people begging me to do this, people that are in great pain.”

[Mass Patients @mapatients]

“The Senate committee's proposal would end the requirement that medical licensees grow, process and sell their own product — a long-criticized vertical integration mandate that has squeezed out smaller operators. The House bill has similar language.” #mapatients

[NBC10 Boston @NBC10Boston]

There's buy-in across the Massachusetts House and Senate now on the topic of overhauling the Cannabis Control Commission, and increasing the amount of marijuana that a person can legally possess. https://t.co/XZD6QkjQwz

“A medical cannabis reform bill is making its way through Beacon Hill, but it's up to a state legislature that's notorious for taking several years to pass industry reforms and a commission that's even slower to enforce statutory changes.”

“The scarcity of medical marijuana dispensaries compared to recreational pot shops — and the hurdles it presents patients — reflect fundamental issues in state's medical marijuana market and how it's regulated, patients and industry experts say.”

[masslivenews @masslivenews]

Selling medical marijuana costs a fortune. As fewer shops open, patients feel the squeeze https://t.co/4IAapFAZqR

[Mass Patients @mapatients]

Email [email protected] by February 26th at 4PM to sign up and tell them whether you plan on speaking in person or virtually. If we do not speak up now the medical program could disappear. This is our chance to save our medical program and demand action before it is too late

Actions speak louder than words. With just 8 days until the Medical Marijuana Listening Session, @MA_Cannabis still hasn’t published the sign up link to speak. Patients shouldn’t be given last-minute notice for an opportunity this important. Where's the link?

[Mass Patients @mapatients]

On 2/27 @MA_Cannabis is holding a Listening Session on Medical Marijuana. Patients & advocates must speak up!

Medical dispensaries are closing, patients are paying taxes, and it’s becoming harder to access the medical marijuana program.

On February 27th @MA_Cannabis is holding a listening session. It’s an opportunity to speak directly to the CCC about the state of the medical cannabis program in Massachusetts. The Commission needs to hear the challenges that patients face and act immediately to fix them.

[Mass Patients @mapatients]

MPAA spoke to @TalkingJoints about the alarming decline of Massachusetts’ medical cannabis program and the upcoming Feb. 27 CCC listening session. This is our chance to demand real action. Read more and make your voice heard.
