Making good on a warning issued months ago, the organization that represents most of the state s marijuana retailers is suing the Cannabis Control Commission to invalidate the new regulations that create a separate category of businesses allowed to deliver non-medical marijuana directly to consumers.
The Commonwealth Dispensary Association opposed the commission s regulations while they were in development last year and last week filed suit in Suffolk Superior Court asking a judge to void the regulations. The group and its attorneys from Foley Hoag argue that the new delivery-only license types violate the state s marijuana law, which they say gives the retailers the right to deliver cannabis under their existing licenses.
The Cannabis Control Commission is being sued over new regulations that create a separate category of businesses allowed to deliver non-medical marijuana directly to consumers.
Freshly restocked with three new members, the Cannabis Control Commission is gearing up for a year that will include the implementation of recently-approved regulations that allow for home delivery of non-medical marijuana, continuing to press for legislation that Beacon Hill mostly ignored last session, and possibly even another round of regulatory revisions.
