A Massachusetts company will begin growing cannabis and selling medical marijuana from a Salem dispensary, thanks to the first certificate of registration issued by the state.
The state Department of Public Health yesterday announced the clearance for Alternative Therapies Group Inc.
Alternative Therapies plans to sell its medical marijuana — which Massachusetts law requires must be grown from seed — to 1,526 patients in its first year, according to its filing with the state. The plants will be grown at its Amesbury cultivation site.
"Providing safe patient access is a priority of the Medical Use of Marijuana Program, and we are proud to take this important step forward," state Health and Human Services Secretary John Polanowicz said in a statement. "Selecting dispensaries that meet our high standards takes time, but ensuring a launch of this new industry the right way for the people of Massachusetts is a top priority."
State public health officials visited Alternative Therapies' dispensary and cultivation sites to review its floor plans, security and cultivation operations to ensure product safety and quality; its storage and transportation standards; and responsiveness to patient needs, the DPH said.
The company will be subject to further oversight, including inspection of its transportation plans and testing of its marijuana plants once they are grown, before it's permitted to move or sell its marijuana for medical use. Ongoing oversight will include unannounced inspections before and after sales begin.
Other companies seeking to operate medical marijuana dispensaries in Massachusetts are in the inspection phase.
