Franklin residents will soon have the chance to learn more about a proposed Marijuana Research Facility coming to town. Hennep Cultivation LLC has scheduled a Community Outreach Meeting on Thursday, October 2, 2025, at 4:30 PM at the Franklin Sr Center, located at 10 Daniel McCahill Street. The meeting will discuss the proposed Marijuana Research Facility at 160 Grove Street, Franklin, MA, and give the public an opportunity to ask questions.
The choice of the Sr Center for this gathering is intentional—it provides a familiar, accessible location for community members to learn about the potential impact of a Marijuana Research Facility in Franklin. Local residents, especially seniors who often use the Sr Center, will hear firsthand how research operations differ from traditional cannabis businesses.
What is a Marijuana Research Facility?
In Massachusetts, a Marijuana Research Facility is a licensed establishment overseen by the Cannabis Control Commission (CCC). Unlike dispensaries, a Marijuana Research Facility focuses exclusively on cultivating or acquiring cannabis for the purpose of conducting scientific studies. This might involve testing marijuana products, studying their effects, or developing new methods of cultivation.
Entities eligible to run a Marijuana Research Facility include academic institutions, nonprofit corporations, or domestic corporations authorized to operate in Massachusetts. Importantly, a Marijuana Research Facility cannot sell marijuana products to consumers. Its sole mission is research.
