SHREWSBURY – Residents may soon have the opportunity to have marijuana delivered to them.
A marijuana courier business, Finest Trees LLC owners Rebecca and Daniel Yarnie and their attorney David Ullian went before the Select Board on Oct. 25 to request the board’s approval to authorize Town Manager Kevin Mizikar to negotiate a host community agreement for the business, which the board ultimately approved.
The Finest Trees, which would be located at 34 through 36 Harrington Avenue, would provide home delivery of cannabis and medical cannabis products to adult-use consumers and patients in Massachusetts, according to Ullian.
“Finest Trees LLC looks forward to working cooperatively with [the] Town of Shrewsbury to ensure that the company operates as a responsible, contributing member of the local community,” Ullian said.
Ullian said Finest Trees LLC received pre-certification from the Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) for a marijuana courier license back in January.
However, in order to complete the process of obtaining a marijuana courier license, Ullian said the company must go through “a couple of additional steps,” which include obtaining an inspection license and a building license as well as hosting a community outreach meeting.
Finest Trees LLC is proposing to construct a 1,000-square-foot stand-alone building on the property for administrative operations as well as adding parking spaces for employees and delivery vehicles, Ullian said.
He added that marijuana and marijuana products would not be cultivated, manufactured, stored, available for sale or consumed at the site.
Though the office would only be used for administrative purposes, all visitors of the site must be at least 21 years old, according to Ullian.
“The company will not engage in any marketing, advertising, or branding practices that are targeted to, deemed to appeal to or portray minors under 21 years of age,” Ullian said.
