Summary
The Cannabis Control Commission issued a Final Order and Stipulated Agreement on April 7, 2026 to Boston Bud Factory, Inc., a licensed retailer and product manufacturer in Holyoke, Massachusetts (cases ENF-2022-0000001221 and a related case).
The facts of record say investigators found the company's pre-rolls in an arcade machine at a bar and event space next door called The Joint, which shared a minority owner with the licensee, and that pre-rolls had been sold repeatedly, often for one dollar each. The order also states that the company failed to use age verification at a block party it sponsored and failed to target advertising at people over 21.
The payment schedule is four instalments of $6,250. The matter was resolved by stipulation.
