What Is Drug Possession Under Massachusetts Law?
In Massachusetts, drug possession is governed by M.G.L. c. 94C § 34. Charges depend on:
🔹 Type of drug (Class A–E: heroin, cocaine, MDMA, marijuana, pills)

🔹 Whether you had a valid prescription
Possession of marijuana under 1 oz is decriminalized (civil citation), but other drugs, including Adderall without a prescription, can lead to criminal charges.
