State’s first medical pot dispensary on pace in Salem

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 11 April 2015 | 18.38

Massachusetts' first medical marijuana dispensary is expected to start selling cannabis in a few months, with another on track to begin this fall.

Alternative Therapies expects to open in Salem in early summer, according to its website, after becoming the first dispensary to receive final state Department of Public Health certification in December that allowed it to start growing medical marijuana in Amesbury. It will start scheduling appointments for DPH-registered patients and caregivers through its website once it determines an opening date.

"A variety of strains of medical-grade cannabis grown with organic methods will be offered, initially in bud form only," the company's website states. "Over time, we intend to expand our product line to include more strains and ... marijuana-infused products such as tinctures, baked goods, topical creams, salves and vaporizer pens."

The DPH last week also gave New England Treatment Access the go-ahead to start growing cannabis at its 60,000-square-foot Franklin facility, and approval for its Northampton dispensary. Approval is pending for its Brookline dispensary.

"They're in the cultivation process," spokeswoman Dot Joyce said. "It takes at least five to six months to have treatments available, and we're expecting to be able to serve qualifying patients this fall."

Dispensaries will set their own prices based on region, demand and other factors, according to Kevin Gilnack, executive director of the Commonwealth Dispensary Association, a trade group.

"Every dispensary will offer a hardship program for patients who are low-income," he said.
