Adult-use delivery restriction · Carlisle, MA
Carlisle said no … for now.
Adult-use cannabis delivery is temporarily restricted in Carlisle under CCC waiver DW-2026-015 through September 15, 2028. The Select Board received eight written comments, evenly divided for and against the waiver. During its August 11 meeting, members discussed Carlisle’s earlier prohibition on adult-use storefronts, the lack of a direct municipal benefit, limited local control, and a two-year wait-and-see period. The police department was reported as neutral. One member opposed the waiver because delivery was already legal, no negative local impact had been identified, nearby towns allowed it, and residents should retain the choice. The Board voted 3-1 to authorize the Town Administrator to submit the two-year waiver request.
