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.

Join us for the kickoff event of the Fourth Annual Cannabis Empowerment Week 2026: Social in the City — an evening centered on education, conversation, and the future of social consumption in Boston.

Hosted by the City of Boston Cannabis Industry Development Team and the Boston Cannabis Board, this informational session will explore Boston’s anticipated municipal planning process, the three new social consumption license types, community impact considerations, and the statewide framework surrounding social consumption.

Attendees will have the opportunity to hear directly from City and State representatives, engage in discussion, ask questions, and learn more about how social consumption could shape hospitality, culture, nightlife, equity, and economic opportunity throughout Boston.

We will also meet and engage with newly appointed Cannabis Control Commissioner, Xiomara Albán DeLobato.
