What is the CCC?
The Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) is the official regulatory body overseeing all cannabis-related matters in Massachusetts. Once a medical certification has been issued by a qualified healthcare provider and the registration has been completed through the state portal, the CCC is responsible for issuing the official medical marijuana (MMJ) card. The Commission also enforces compliance across the cannabis industry.

This usually needs to be renewed every year, but your provider might do it more frequently if needed. Just so you know—the date of this certification is not the same as the date on your MMJ card.

What is a MMJ registration?
