Massachusetts launches application process for medical marijuana stores, growing operations [View all]
“The department has created a solid regulatory framework for this new industry, and now we are ready to move forward with the competitive application process,” Cheryl Bartlett, commissioner of the public health department, said in a statement. “We are committed to a fully transparent process that respects patient needs, while ensuring safe communities.”
After the Aug. 22 deadline has passed, DPH will post the list of applicants and proposed dispensary locations online at www.mass.gov/medicalmarijuana.
The program allows up to 35 non-profit dispensaries across the state, with at least one but no more than five in each county.
Matthew J. Allen, executive director of the Massachusetts Patient Advocacy Alliance, said he is pleased to see the department moving quickly to get dispensaries operating.
