Two more recreational marijuana shops will open in Massachusetts at the end of this week, giving consumers five different retail stores across the Commonwealth where they can buy marijuana products for recreational use.
Insa Inc. in Easthampton and Verilife (formerly Pharmacannis) in Wareham both received notices from the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission on Monday to “commence full operations,” meaning they could open for sales after three business days.
They’ll join three other recreational marijuana stores that have already opened — Cultivate in Leicester, New England Treatment Access in Northampton, and Alternative Therapies Group in Salem.
