Massachusetts marijuana stores to reopen on Monday

After two months of total shutdown, adult-use cannabis sales in Massachusetts are set to resume next Monday, May 25. But don’t expect a quick return to business as usual.

“We’ll probably bring on more staff than we need for the first day or two in the hopes that sales are big, but in reality…I’m not sure what to expect,” said Edward Dow of Solar Therapeutics. “With curbside only, we won’t get all our business back. But is it going to be half of what it was? A quarter?”

And he’s hopeful that Massachusetts will eventually allow customers back into stores in subsequent phases of its re-opening plan, which could happen as soon as three weeks from now.

“I’m happy to see they’re taking steps in the right direction; I really hope we can move this forward more efficiently. We’re all on board to do it safely,” Dow added.
