420 with CNW – Massachusetts Bill Seeks COVID-19 Relief for Marijuana Businesses

Qualified citizens, along with small businesses, would receive cash payments and business loans to help them weather the financial storm. However, due to ongoing federal prohibition, businesses in the state-legal marijuana sector were barred from accessing these funds. There have been calls from stakeholders, advocates, and lawmakers to rectify the marijuana sector's omission if the government deploys another relief package.

Once it became clear that the coronavirus wasn't just passing by, governments all over deployed measures to help curb its spread. Social distancing and self-isolation were at the top of the list, along with shutting down all but the most essential businesses.
