CCC
Target: Mar 2027Massachusetts CCC-aware dispensary platform
Native compliance hooks for Massachusetts CCC rules. State 10.75% adult-use excise + 6.25% sales tax + up to 3% local option, METRC traceability, and the medical / adult-use / social-equity license lane separation CCC requires.
Regulator
Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (CCC)
https://masscannabiscontrol.com ↗Your rules, handled
Massachusetts’s cannabis retail rules — what the CCC requires at the counter, how sales are reported to the state, and what the taxes are — are researched from the regulator’s own pages and coded into the register. You run the shop; the rules are handled at the sale.
At the register, as of September 2026: the 10.75% state cannabis excise, 6.25% state sales tax, and up to 3% local tax on adult-use sales; sales rung under the medical program are outside all three.
Coverage here — honestly
Massachusetts coverage is written against CCC rules: the bulletins, the 10.75 + 6.25 + local-3 tax stack, the METRC-cadence reporting requirements, and the social-equity priority program. We keep it current as the CCC moves, and where something isn’t built for MA yet we say so before you sign.
