| WORCESTER — The Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (Commission) on Thursday, November 14, approved the Commonwealth’s first Marijuana Research Facility final license, marking continued progress towards achieving greater understanding of the safety and applicability of regulated marijuana products through science.
Commissioners voted unanimously (4-0) at the agency’s monthly public meeting to grant Curaleaf Processing, Inc. a final license to operate a Marijuana Research Facility in Newton. In September, the Commission’s Investigations and Enforcement staff inspected the Marijuana Research Facility and found it to be in full compliance with the requirements under state law. Upon receiving administrative approval for any submitted Research Permit applications, Curaleaf Processing Inc. must then pass a final license inspection prior to being authorized to commence operations and begin research projects. |
