Massachusetts only recently started recreational marijuana sales and a third store is set to open this weekend.
According to a tweet from the Massachusetts Cannabis Commission, Alternative Therapies Group, Inc, (ATG) which already serves as a medical marijuana dispensary, will start retail operations in Salem on Saturday.
Salem Mayor Kim Driscoll said in a statement that the city has coordinated for weeks with ATG, police and the MBTA in preparation of recreational marijuana sales starting. Only those with an appointment can buy marijuana and reservations can be made online at www.atgma.org.
“Customers without a reservation will not be allowed into the facility and will be turned away,” said Driscoll.
Appointments for this weekend have already been sold out.
