Reading the register

Six dispensaries are listed. Union Leaf Inc. is at the address the Cookies Somerville store also lists, 71 Union Square. Liberty Cannabis (Somerville) carries a brand name; Nuestra, LLC, Advesa MA, Inc. at 690 Broadway and The Harvest Club, LLC at 255 Elm Street show company names. The Massachusetts page has what applies everywhere in the state.

Cambridge's row rests on a June 2023 presentation, so check current zoning before relying on it, and Boston's ordinance dates from 2019.

The city's first host community agreements went to three retailers and the register shows six, so at least three came later.
