Out of 53 dispensaries in the Boston area, ONLY 9 are medical. This is a disgrace. Patients deserve a system that prioritizes their needs, not one that’s content with limited access. Change is needed NOW! No more excuses…no more delays. It’s time to fix this broken system.

It shouldn’t be this hard. Medical marijuana patients in Massachusetts are running out of options as dispensaries close or shift focus to recreational sales. Please share your story. The Commission needs to hear loud and clear what patients are going through right now.

How much of this $1.64 billion came from medical marijuana patients who couldn’t access medical dispensaries and had no option but to purchase recreational products? Patients need the CCC to prioritize them, fix accessibility gaps, and stop acting like it’s OK to tax medicine

We know the challenges you’re facing with fewer dispensaries, unnecessary costs, and endless barriers. You’re not alone. MPAA hears you, and we’re fighting for access, equity, and fairness. Together, we will break down these barriers so medical cannabis is truly accessible.

9 medical dispensaries closed in 2024. That’s 9 fewer places for patients to get the medicine they need. Access is disappearing. It’s an emergency that can’t be ignored. We’re fighting every day to save the medical program so patients don’t have to face more closures like this!

Big news for Mass Patients! Rep. David Rogers & Sen. Adam Gomez have filed HD.3397 and SD.2048 to enhance access to medical cannabis. We are grateful for their leadership in filing these bills to modernize the medical marijuana program and prioritize patient access.

MPAA spoke to TJMCO about the alarming decline of Massachusetts’ medical cannabis program and the upcoming Feb. 27 CCC listening session. This is our chance to demand real action. Read more and make your voice heard. talkingjointsmemo.com/massachusetts-…

On 2/27 Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission is holding a Listening Session on Medical Marijuana. Patients & advocates must speak up! Medical dispensaries are closing, patients are paying taxes, and it’s becoming harder to access the medical marijuana program. Get a reminder: mpaa.typeform.com/signup

Actions speak louder than words. With just 8 days until the Medical Marijuana Listening Session, Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission still hasn’t published the sign up link to speak. Patients shouldn’t be given last-minute notice for an opportunity this important. Where's the link?

Email [email protected] by February 26th at 4PM to sign up and tell them whether you plan on speaking in person or virtually. If we do not speak up now the medical program could disappear. This is our chance to save our medical program and demand action before it is too late

“The scarcity of medical marijuana dispensaries compared to recreational pot shops — and the hurdles it presents patients — reflect fundamental issues in state's medical marijuana market and how it's regulated, patients and industry experts say.”

Reminder: the Commission will host a hybrid Listening Session on 2/27 to discuss issues related to Massachusetts’ Medical Use of Marijuana Program. Sign-up to speak in advance by 4 p.m. on 2/26 by emailing [email protected]. Learn more: masscannabiscontrol.com/events/cannabi…

“A medical cannabis reform bill is making its way through Beacon Hill, but it's up to a state legislature that's notorious for taking several years to pass industry reforms and a commission that's even slower to enforce statutory changes.” axios.com/local/boston/2…

“The Senate committee's proposal would end the requirement that medical licensees grow, process and sell their own product — a long-criticized vertical integration mandate that has squeezed out smaller operators. The House bill has similar language.” #mapatients
