The first and second cannabis dispensaries on Cape Cod opened on Commercial Street in Provincetown. Two years later there are five cannabis dispensaries in Provincetown and one more will open soon. Many people are asking: Are there too many cannabis dispensaries on Cape Cod, specifically in Provincetown?
Orleans Town Residents & Leaders Support Cannabis
4 Reasons to Vote YES for Retail Cannabis in Orleans
The State’s been looking at this a long time and frankly, so has ORLEANS. All of the potential issues have been resolved, traffic and crime are largely a non-issue. Our town is lucky to have had this time - so that our select board and planners could tailor a SMART plan for a uniquely new industry.
As a result, the plans for Orleans are very reasonable - if these articles are approved the maximum number of dispensaries will be 2, and none will be located in our village center. Some think this is about money - and maybe they’re right - so as the lower Cape’s commercial hub, what is Orleans losing if P-town, Truro, Welfleet and Eastham also all have Cannabis shops planned?
