Massachusetts Cannabis Law Revamp Could Double MSO Retail Footprint
Lawmakers are redrawing the rules
Individual cannabis companies would be able to operate up to six stores in Massachusetts, up from the current limit of three, if proposed changes to state marijuana laws are approved.
The overhaul of the rules governing the $1.65 billion market, moving towards finalization in the state General Court, would also eliminate the requirement for medical cannabis operators to be vertically integrated, according to the Worcester Business Journal.
Lawmakers are redrawing the rules in Massachusetts after years of chaos at the state Cannabis Control Commission (CCC), which the state inspector general in 2024 called a “rudderless agency.”
The CCC would also be shrunk from five members to three and be under the control of the governor, rather than other state officers, if a legislative compromise committee’s proposed tweaks to HB 5350 become law.
