No, it's a misdemeanor punishable with a fine up to $100, and forfeiture of the contraband, so that ounce or less will end up back at the precinct to be incinerated.
Hell of a step up from civil forfeiture of your house :p

Ya, you'd have to be a med patient for them to give back your pot; even then they have been known to confiscate it and never give it back, rarely but heard that they can still be a jerk and it is hard to prove that they took your pot if it is not in the report.
Basically people in Mass just won't go to jail for a month, doesn't anyone know what the old charge was? Plus not get your car impounded, that makes things very expensive on top of being locked up and not working for a month.......impound fees gain every day it's in there and are far from cheap.

No, it's a misdemeanor punishable with a fine up to $100
No, its now a civil infraction.
This means it doesn't go on your record, unlike a misdemeanor.

Well, that isn't really true; it will go on your record until you get it taken off.......by paying more money that any fine/court cost/reinstatement fees for the drivers L.
They sill make sure that it fucks you, but it sounds like not a big deal since there isn't any time in disease invested county clothes/jail with their lovely cold chains digging into your legs and the crazy assholes that freak out about a chair when their fat ass went to get a candy bar from their cell...
Other than that, it's just a civil citation.....which those stick to your record too.
It is said to not be a criminal record, but the DEA will still find that it's there......jobs can still find out if they search with the right people (jobs that won't hire drug convictions and so forth).
I actually have a minor misdemeanor offense for some cannabis, and well it was the only one on my docket lists that state it as a conviction........and I have a freaking felony....that just said guilty.

If it's anything like Maine laws, under 1 1/4 ounce is called a "usable amount of marijuana". You get a summons to court, and it's a violation. You pay a fine. It's happened to me before. I'm pretty sure Mass is now the same.

Ya, I don't see why you have to go to court.....with a speeding ticket you usually just pay the fine and don't have to show up.....but hey, it's pot and they just shit about it no matter what.

That's pretty cynical, looking at what the law used to be and still is in other places, but yeah, drugs get hit with the shitstick time and time again.

Cynical, hell yes it is; I was handcuffed in my own home and threatened to be taken to jail if I didn't agree to narc on people for a freaking stem with two fan leaves attached.....it was major BS, I said okay to get out of the cuffs but never did anything after getting my ticket and let go. It was stupid and cops are pretty rude about something that is such a minor offense. They get off on charging you with paraphernalia for the bag or jar and they really don't see it as a minor thing. Then again they don't see speeding tickets as a small thing either, they get brownie points for being a hard ass and mad fun of for anything less.

I did not say I blamed you, nor do I intend to, especially now that you've shared that with me.
But just think, after years ... decades of being subject to these outrageous aberration of "justice", things are finally changing.
I don't suggest you ever forget the transgressions against you. Au contraire, you should always remember them vividly to serve as a warning should anyone ever suggest heading the other way once more; but right now, things are becoming better, and that too is something of importance.

Ya, well they aren't going to change that much; I mean unless cannabis is associated with religion AND THOSE ASSHOLES AREN'T GOING TO BUY THAT!
Really thought, Shamanism will use anything to alter conscientiousness, but based on the known realms of traveling. That their is a quest and it must be undertaken responsibly.

so do they take the weed also or just give the citation?
And how are they going to prove in court a driver is high on marijuana at the alleged time of offense?
