Secretary of State William F. Galvin, had said that the results of the Massachusetts marijuana legalization measure has been passed by voters. The new recreational marijuana law takes effect from next week after so many controversies.

Secretary of State William Galvin’s spokesman said that they have planned to deliver the official results of the Nov. 8 ballot, asking the Governor's Council for certification on Wednesday.

Believing that the results have been certified officially by the council, the law will take effect as scheduled the following day.

As there was no doubt that voters had approved the marijuana question, Galvin had previously said that his office might not complete its official tally in time for certification by Dec 15.

When the law will take effect it will be legal for adults of 21 and older to possess limited quantities of marijuana for recreational use and grow up to a dozen pot plants per household.
