A Blessing For Pot Advice
A clear and unambiguous statement of policy from the Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers
BBO/OBC POLICY ON LEGAL ADVICE ON MARIJUANA
The Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers and Office of the Bar Counsel will not prosecute a member of the Massachusetts bar solely for advising a client regarding the validity, scope, and meaning of Massachusetts statutes and laws regarding medical or other legal forms of marijuana or for assisting a client in conduct that the lawyer reasonably believes is permitted by Massachusetts statutes, regulations, orders, and other state or local provisions implementing them, as long as the lawyer also advises the client regarding related federal law and policy.
