The most notable decision involved Stones Throw Cannabis LLC, doing business as Firebrand Cannabis, which sought to extend its operating hours from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. daily, instead of its current 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. schedule. The Board unanimously rejected the request with prejudice for a year, emphasizing a need for the company to conduct more thorough community engagement. Board members agreed that the company had to align its management with community concerns before reconsidering an extension.

Another notable application was from 617 Therapeutic Healthcare Inc., doing business as 617 THC, located on Balden Street, Dorchester. They also proposed extending their operating hours to 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. from their current 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. The Board deferred this decision, requiring the applicant to engage with the Greater Bowden Geneva Association, having only met with Bowden Geneva Main Streets previously.

Conversely, Silver Therapeutics Inc., operating as City Farm, succeeded in amending its operating hours to 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday. Despite some board members expressing a desire for more interaction with elected officials, the application was approved after confirming discussions with a local representative.

Lastly, Community Growth Apartments Boston LLC, doing business as Rebel, sought to extend its hours to 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. The Board found no negative impacts from this application and approved it without issue.
