Adult-use delivery restriction · Holden, MA
Holden said no … for now.
Adult-use cannabis delivery is temporarily restricted in Holden under CCC waiver DW-2026-006 through June 10, 2028. Approved April 6 Select Board minutes preserve a mixed discussion about whether Holden should reconsider its existing prohibition on retail cannabis: one member raised potential revenue, while other members cited the earlier Town Meeting rejection, possible municipal costs, and concerns about state oversight. That discussion did not itself authorize the delivery waiver. In its June 11 public meeting book, the CCC separately marked Holden’s municipal authorization and supporting documentation as verified before approving the waiver. The underlying town motion, memorandum, or vote record was not found in the reviewed public archive, so this page does not attribute the waiver decision to individual officials.
