MASSACHUSETTS ALLOWS 11 POT DISPENSARIES TO MOVE FORWARD

Boston - ( AP) Eleven medical marijuana dispensaries were cleared by 
state public health officials on Friday to move forward, but nine 
others that had initially been given the green light were rejected 
after a further state review.

A company led by former U.S. Rep. William Delahunt, Medical Marijuana 
of Massachusetts Inc., and Good Chemistry of Massachusetts Inc., 
which had received provisional approval for dispensaries in Boston 
and Worcester, were among the firms turned aside.

A law approved by state voters in 2012 allows for up to 35 outlets to 
sell marijuana to patients suffering from conditions including 
cancer, HIV, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease. But 
implementation of the law has sputtered, and no dispensaries have yet 
been licensed.
