State cannabis regulators came to the Island Thursday to hear from local cannabis producers, retailers, and medical and recreational consumers who say that a ban on the transport of cannabis by ferry will put the Island’s legal cannabis sellers out of business.

Fine Fettle, the Vineyard's only legally-permitted cannabis producer, has stopped growing marijuana on the Island and will close its West Tisbury dispensary later this year.

The sale of retail cannabis at the airport business park is the focus of town meeting warrant articles in two towns this year.

In West Tisbury discussion continues over how to regulate the Island’s first medical marijuana dispensary.

A final public hearing by the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission on the Vineyard last week saw sparse attendance.

Geoff Rose announced Tuesday that he has been granted a provisional license by the state Department of Public Health to operate a registered medical marijuana dispensary in West Tisbury.
