Summary
Starlight Greens Delivery Dispensary was an online cannabis seller that, according to a local news report published on May 5, 2023, sent would-be customers to a private home in Dorchester, Boston to collect orders. The homeowner told local media that people arrived at all hours, some after searching for cannabis delivery in Boston, to pick up orders worth up to $150. The Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission told reporters that Starlight Greens Delivery Dispensary was not a business licensed by the commission under that name or as a trade name. The report said the website linked to the listing offered only delivery, had several typos, gave no address or phone number and had no way to verify a buyer's age. The homeowner reported the matter to Boston police, Google and the state Attorney General's Office, which, according to the report, was looking into it. Google later removed the address and the site was taken down.
