Understanding Massachusetts Drug Possession Law
Under M.G.L. c. 94C, § 34, drug possession is a criminal offense in Massachusetts that includes:
🔹 Knowingly possessing a controlled substance
🔹 Possessing marijuana beyond the legal personal-use limit
🔹 Having prescription drugs (e.g., Xanax, Oxycodone) without a valid script
Penalties depend on the drug class and your criminal record:
💊 Class A (Heroin): Up to 1 year in jail and fines
💊 Class B (Cocaine, Meth): Up to 1 year for simple possession
💊 Class C (Prescription Drugs): Often results in probation or court-ordered rehab
💊 Class D (Marijuana): Legal under 1 oz for adults over 21; otherwise, a criminal charge
Possession charges can escalate to intent to distribute if packaging or quantity is suspicious.
