Medical marijuana users and patients who live in Massachusetts are finally able to have legal access to medical marijuana treatment after a long a waited 3 years for the program to be put into action.
Friday, June 26th was the grand opening of Massachusetts first marijuana shop. Alternative Therapies Group, an operation located in Salem. Alternative Therapies Group was issued a temporary waiver last week by Governor Charlie Bake, which gave them the green light to initiate operations without first having to go through mandatory state requirements.
Massachusetts only cannabis shop started seeing patients early this past Friday on an appointment only guideline. In comparison to the inner workings of similar operations across the nation, Alternative Therapies doesn’t keep any medical cannabis on display. Rather patients are required to use a computer to make their product selection.
However, the Department of Public Health prohibits the marijuana shop from posting the prices of its inventory online. Only people who are in possession of a state-issued medical marijuana licenses as well as authorized personnel can gain this information. Yet, the company is in great belief that their signal supplier status in the market has not played a part in overpriced medicine.
“Our pricing structure is aimed at providing medical-grade cannabis, grown with organic methods, in a safe environment at the lowest price,” reads the company’s website.
Massachusetts has granted 15 out of the allotted 35 people who filled out an application for an opportunity to open a legal dispensary with the privilege to cultivate, and sell medical marijuana, however only four have been giving permission to open their doors. The other three marijuana shops will start their business in Northampton, Brockton, and Ayer. In the future, the DOH states all applicants will be screened thoroughly and those that meet the requirements will gain the green light to open up shop.
