The SJC held in part that "[a]lthough we observe that the interplay between the statute and the regulations may have led to consequences perhaps not contemplated by the Legislature or the commission, we nevertheless conclude that Mederi's claims properly were denied, and thus affirm the decision." The SJC also reviewed the legislative history of marijuana law in Massachusetts.
