More than two years after Massachusetts voted to legalize marijuana for all adults over the age of 21, the state’s first recreational sales are set to begin Tuesday.
On Friday afternoon, the Cannabis Control Commission authorized two existing medical marijuana dispensaries — Cultivate Holdings in Leicester and New England Treatment Access, or NETA, in Northampton — to begin sales on Nov. 20.
Norton Arbelaez, the director of government affairs for NETA, says the dispensary plans to open for recreational sales Tuesday morning at 8 a.m. The Northampton shop, located at 118 Conz St., will remain open until 10 p.m.
