Massachusetts Dispensaries Still Waiting to Sell Recreational Marijuana

The state needs to approve an independent testing lab before pot shops can begin selling recreational marijuana.

Mass Boston

EASTHAMPTON, Mass. (WWLP) - It's still illegal to sell recreational marijuana in Massachusetts.

The Cannabis Control Commission said they need to approve an independent testing lab before pot shops can begin selling recreational marijuana.

The Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation says the slow rollout of recreational marijuana sales in the state is causing doubt on projected state revenue. 

The Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation said that the 17% state sale tax on marijuana sales was expected to create $63 million in revenue. That estimate, however, was made earlier this year when it was expected that pot shops would open July 1.
