US (MA): Control Commission approves new regulations

The Cannabis Control Commission approved final regulations for delivery, testing transportation, and patient access, according to a commission statement.

The approval came after three days of deliberations. Part of the changes also include allowing microbusinesses and craft marijuana cooperatives to expand and to allow patients to request telehealth for initial certification.

"The Commission acted diligently to update regulations for constituents while maintaining a safe, equitable cannabis market," Acting Chair Bruce Stebbins said in a statement. "These changes will allow Microbusinesses to expand into new parts of the industry and access social consumption licenses in the future."
