And remember, MASSACHUSETTS JUST DECRIMINALIZED POT! Less than an ounce, you\'re free to bounce. You can walk up to a cop and hand him a half ounce and the worst he can do is give you a $100 ticket, he can\'t possibly arrest you (and they\'re not bothering with the tickets either). Good times!
Depends on the cop and the situation. Handing the bag to the cop does allow him to search you for more cannabis.
If you happen to have a pipe, whoops paraphernalia laws still exist. Felony.
If you happen to have 2 containers (bags,tin,whathaveyou) like bringing someone a bag BAM! Intent to distribute. Even under an ounce. Felony.
Also beware that this law allows for cities and towns to set up public use laws in which they can make it illegal to use in public. So know your local law.
Just sayin\'.
