An Act relative to medical marijuana oversight
This bill amends Massachusetts law to give the medical marijuana commission the authority to revoke or suspend licenses for specific violations. It allows the commission to take action if a licensee is found to be illegally selling medical marijuana or if they have been diagnosed with cannabis use disorder by a healthcare professional. The change directly affects licensed medical marijuana providers by adding new grounds for license removal. The legislation aims to strengthen oversight of the medical marijuana program by addressing both illegal sales and health-related disqualifications.
