Understanding the 28-Gram Daily Limit

Understanding the 28-Gram Daily Limit

The state allows you to purchase 28 grams of flower or its equivalent in other cannabis formats. Let’s break down how these limits apply:

 

•  Flower: Up to 28 grams (1 ounce).

•  Edibles: A total of 500mg THC, which is roughly 5 packs of 20 servings, each serving containing 5mg of THC.

•  Concentrates: Up to 5 grams of cannabis concentrates, such as wax, shatter, or live resin (equivalent to 5 x 1g or 10 x 0.5g packages).

•  Tinctures: A total of 5000mg = approximately 5 x 1000mg bottles, depending on the product’s potency and total THC content.

•  Pre-roll Joints: 28 pre-roll joints, assuming each joint contains roughly 1 gram of flower.

•  Vape Cartridges: Up to 10 x 0.5g cartridges or 5 x 1g cartridges/disposables.

Massachusetts’ purchase limits serve three critical purposes:

 

•  Encourage Responsible Use: Limiting daily purchases helps consumers manage their intake responsibly.

•  Prevent Diversion: Restricting quantities reduces the risk of products entering the illicit market.

•  Promote Safety: Regulating how much THC a consumer can access in one day helps prevent overconsumption.

 

•  Know Your Preferences: Decide what products suit your needs—flower, concentrates, edibles, or a mix.

•  Plan Ahead: If you intend to purchase multiple product types, calculate the total equivalency before checkout.

•  Consult the Experts: Dispensary staff can help you understand product potencies and their impact on the daily limit.
