SPRINGFIELD, MA (WGGB/WSHM) – The Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission has voted to approve a pilot program for cannabis cafes and Springfield is one of the communities that has the opportunity to participate if the bill passes
Cannabis consumption areas, or cafes, can be found in states like California, Oregon, and Colorado. Pretty soon, Massachussetts could be added to that list. On Wednesday, the Mass. House of Representatives passed a cannabis equity bill. It passed in the Mass. Senate a few weeks ago. As part of the bill, State Senator Adam Gomez said a pilot program can be implemented in Massachusetts.
“It’s illegal still for you to use marijuana in public spaces, so these social consumption sites need to be created to make sure that in different areas, across the street, where we have tourism and, you know, that people come here and maybe want to indulge in some of our dispensers because obviously, it’s still not federally legal to acquire marijuana in some states,” Gomez explained.
