This Labor Day weekend, remember: it's illegal to drive under the influence of cannabis. Instead, use public transportation, ride-shares, or catch a ride with a sober friend. Adult consumers may also have the option of ordering legal cannabis delivery to their home. Find a list of Massachusetts delivery businesses on our Licensing Tracker, available on our homepage at MassCannabisControl.com.
