Massachusetts certifies 13 municipal cannabis-delivery opt-outs under new framework

Published Jul 15, 2026

Massachusetts now allows adult-use cannabis delivery statewide unless a municipality obtains a time-limited waiver, and regulators had certified 13 local opt-outs as of July 15; communities with existing marijuana retailers cannot seek waivers, while medical delivery remains permitted statewide. The opt-out model, public waiver tracker and equity-focused delivery licenses offer Oklahoma operators and policymakers a transferable blueprint for balancing local control with market access.
