Across from a strip mall on Mozzone Boulevard in Taunton sits Commonwealth Alternative Care, a dispensary that hopes to begin selling recreational marijuana in January.

With recreational marijuana sales off to a lucrative start in Massachusetts, new cannabis companies like Boston-based TILT are cashing in.

In the first five days of recreational marijuana sales in the state's two shops, in Leicester and Northampton, raked in more $2.2 million.

Calling itself the 7-Eleven or UberEats of marijuana, TILT has big goals and a big budget, said Joel Milton. Their first physical location in Massachusetts will be the Taunton facility.

"Basically if you have a license we can help build you a store and stock your shelves," said Milton, the founder, and CEO of Baker, one of four companies that joined to create TILT.

The company, which will begin to be publicly traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange on Wednesday, has raised $119 million in an equity round of funding, Businesswire reports.

The multi-national cannabis company TILT - which hopes to sell recreationally in dispensaries in Brockton and Cambridge as well as Taunton - can offer businesses the marketing, online ordering, supply, and products. Alex Coleman, the CEO of TILT, said he expects to fill 225 jobs at the Taunton facility, which has a dispensary as well as 20,000 marijuana plants, to meet demand.

While speaking in the dispensary on Thursday, which opened for medical purchases in July, Coleman said he is optimistic about the future of the store, which has submitted an application for a provisional license with the Cannabis Control Commission.

"If you look at the numbers coming out of places like Colorado and California, the transition from medical to recreational, you tend to see a 10 to 15 percent increase in demand when you make it accessible to anybody 21 and older," said Coleman.

Not only are bongs, "flowers," oils, hand creams, gummies, and confections available for sale in Taunton, but they are made there too. The facility tries to include locally grown and fair trade ingredients. They offer cannabis mints, chocolates, cake pops, and cookies at the facility.

For TILT executives Coleman and Milton, marijuana use is a logical step for states.

"We're seeing that cannabis in states where recreational is accessible, we're seeing declining rates of both opioid addiction and alcohol consumption," Coleman said. "And I think that's a very healthy thing for the country at large."

Milton compared using the products to drinking a glass of scotch or smelling scented oils.

"Is a hit from a vape pen any different than a glass of wine?" Milton mused.
