Taunton pot dispensary among those provisionally approved

TAUNTON — The state on Friday gave a provisional green light to a proposed medical marijuana dispensary in Taunton.

A proposed Taunton dispensary run by Medical Marijuana of Massachusetts Inc., a nonprofit headed by former Congressman William Delahunt, was among 20 dispensary applications to get provisional approval Friday from the state Department of Public Health. In addition to the Medical Marijuana of Massachusetts proposal for Taunton, Delahunt’s organization also got provisional approval for dispensaries in Mashpee and Plymouth.

“This is for people with debilitating conditions, and it will run in a responsible manner,” Delahunt said.

Delahunt plans to open the Taunton dispensary at 400 Revolutionary Drive. He said he became familiar with the area through his work as a lobbyist for the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe. The tribe hopes to build a casino in another section of Liberty and union Industrial Park, less than a mile away.
