"Other services that continue to drive traffic to unlicensed dispensaries are punishing businesses that have invested significant time and resources to gain compliance with state regulations. We view this as an opportunity to build long-term relationships with compliant dispensaries that we believe are the future of the cannabis industry," he added. In the coming weeks, MassRoots is expected to introduce its revamped business portal and dispensary finder.
