Round one is over for potential pot shops purveyors. All of the applicants -six on Cape Cod, four on Martha's Vineyard and two on Nantucket - who attempted to jump through the first set of hoops for opening a medical marijuana dispensary will be moving forward to the final permitting phase. "In phase two of the competitive application process, DPH will review the applicants for appropriateness of the site they have in mind, the geographical distribution of dispensaries, local support, and the applicant's ability to meet the overall health needs of registered patients, while ensuring public safety."
