While Massachusetts began rolling out permits to recreational marijuana businesses last year, the start of the new industry in Boston has been slow going.

The city, which overwhelmingly voted in support of legalization in 2016, may not see its first dispensary open until toward the end of the year.

But that hasn’t stopped applicants from lining up.

Dozens of businesses have applied for permits from the city’s Inspectional Services Department to open up shop across Boston’s neighborhoods, the second step in a six-step process to acquire the local approvals needed. (Beyond that, only a few have obtained a required Host Community Agreement after holding a mandated public meeting).


Here are the businesses that have submitted those permit applications:

Note: This list includes companies that have applied to open in Boston as of June 12, 2019. To date, none have been granted permission to open. All information is as it was proposed in applications provided to Boston.com by the City of Boston.
