Since the release of a draft state regulation by the Cannabis Control Commission back in late December of 2017, we have been working on developing a local public health regulatory framework for Framingham. Through working with other city public health directors, we developed a model local health regulation on this topic in March of 2018. The Board of Health held multiple public hearings and deliberated in many public meetings.

On April 2, 2018, the Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) started Certification of Applications for Priority Applicants (Registered Marijuana Dispensaries and Economic Empowerment Dispensaries and on May 1, 2018, the CCC commenced accepting applications from Open Applicants for Marijuana Cultivation, Microbusiness, Craft Cooperatives, and Independent Testing Labs.

I recognize that you may charge reasonable costs for copies, as well as for personnel time needed to comply with this request. The Public Records Law requires you to provide me with a written response within 10 business days.
