Massachusetts allows transport of marijuana to Martha’s Vineyard in a first

Regulation had barred moving cannabis over state waters which risked running afoul of federal laws

Cannabis regulators in Massachusetts have issued an administrative order that will allow marijuana to be transported to the state's famous islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket for the first time.

The order came amid reports Martha's Vineyard was about to run out of pot, with one dispensary temporarily closing in May and the other saying it would close by September without further supplies.
