BOSTON — The wait continues.
The opening of the state’s first recreational pot shops is still up in the air, but it is clear Worcester will play a central role in the budding industry.
During a recent Cannabis Control Commission meeting regulators said final inspections of prospective marijuana businesses have commenced. However, no date was confirmed for the start of recreational marijuana sales.
CCC Chairman Steven Hoffman declined to speculate when the first shops might open, adding he was hopeful it would happen sometime in the fall.
