This could be the week when the Bay State sees something close to a final draft of the rules which will govern the social consumption of marijuana in Massachusetts.

For those inclined to partake, that does not mean you will be able to walk into a cafe and grab a bong to go along with your breakfast next week. But the day is approaching when adults will be able to gather at public places and imbibe marijuana in one form or another just as they would alcohol at a bar.

The Cannabis Control Commission’s agendas for a pair of regular meetings scheduled for Monday and Tuesday both include a line referencing a planned vote following “discussion and review of draft regulations and policy questions” regarding Amsterdam-style pot cafes or social consumption sites.

This timeline is in keeping with one described by CCC Deputy General Counsel Michael Baker in June, which could see social consumption licenses available for application sometime around Halloween.

Massachusetts will join about a dozen other weed-legal states in allowing social use, according to the Marijuana Policy Project, and though the timeline may seem sudden, it’s been nearly a decade since Bay State voters approved the use of recreational marijuana.

The 2016 ballot law included a provision that would allow adults to use it in licensed public places. However, during the launch of the marijuana industry, commissioners set the development of social consumption regulations on the back burner while they worked on retail sales.

In the time since the first retail store opened, the marijuana market in has exploded, growing to eclipse $8 billion in sales and becoming the state’s largest cash crop, surpassing cranberries years ago.

Even if the board votes this week though, that doesn’t mean social consumption sites will open the next day.

After the commission approves the rules, they must be filed with the Secretary of State and then a public hearing scheduled. That hearing should come 35 days after the rules are sent to Secretary Bill Galvin, according to Baker.

Any changes that come as a result of the hearing must then be approved by the commission. The commission, according to its current timeline, should theoretically have “enforceable social consumption regs” in place “come October,” Baker advised regulators in June.

That would make for some very interesting Halloween parties.
