An Act to provide consumers of adult-use and medical dispensaries of cannabis with access to a medical professional for consultation

This bill requires both adult-use and medical cannabis dispensaries in Massachusetts to offer consultations with a medical professional when a customer asks for one. The law mandates that these businesses make such healthcare services available upon request, ensuring consumers can speak with a doctor or qualified provider before purchasing products. By adding this requirement, the legislation aims to integrate medical guidance into the cannabis purchasing process for all types of buyers.
