Massachusetts regulators denied Pittsfield-based Mass Yield Cultivation a marijuana license for not sufficiently showing in its application a commitment to diversity and inclusion plans.
The news underlines why marijuana firms in the state must carefully outline their diversity plans as they apply for a permit.
This appears to mark the first time the state’s Cannabis Control Commission voted down a license for that reason, the Boston Business Journal reported.The company was looking to build a 5,000-10,000-square-foot indoor cultivation operation.
