Bill Summary

Relative to vertical integration of medical marijuana businesses

AI Summary

This bill aims to amend the Massachusetts laws related to medical marijuana businesses. It introduces the concept of "fully integrated medical marijuana treatment centers" - businesses that can cultivate, manufacture, process, and sell medical marijuana products. The bill also modifies definitions related to medical marijuana, such as "card holder," "medical marijuana establishment," and "medical use marijuana." Furthermore, it allows the Cannabis Control Commission to establish license tiers for different types of medical marijuana businesses and limits the number of licenses a single entity can hold. The overall goal of the bill is to enable greater vertical integration and control within the medical marijuana industry in Massachusetts.
