Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : Catch up quick: State regulators proposed three license types for these spaces: a "supplemental" license for existing retailers, a "hospitality" license that allow consumption at yoga studios or similar places, and an "event organizer" license for festivals and other gatherings.
52% : What's next: State regulators are editing the proposed regulations and meeting with officials across state and local governments.
47% : Reality check: Cannabis lounges are legal under Massachusetts law, and state regulators haven't expressed any interest in abandoning plans to set up the social consumption industry here.
