Consuming on Site invites attendees ages 21+ to meet us at an existing dispensary for a live walkthrough exploring what social consumption could look like through the supplemental license type in Boston. Guests will experience the space through an operational lens while learning about regulatory requirements, consumer flow, compliance considerations, designated consumption areas, and how existing cannabis businesses could integrate on-site consumption into their operations.

Come get Social in the City with us for a real-world look at the future possibilities of cannabis spaces in the City.
