“I’ve been in this over five years; it’s been one fight after another,” says Rosenfeld, president of CommCan, which is licensed by the Massachusetts government to grow and sell both recreational and medical cannabis. “Nothing’s been easy, nothing.”
CommCan has two medical marijuana dispensaries that are still operating, but the company’s sales have dropped by around 90% Rosenfeld says. Adding to the frustration for Rosenfeld is the fact that cannabis businesses in Massachusetts pay additional excise and sales taxes — totaling 20% of sales — on top of regular payroll and business taxes. “All that money — more than any other industry, I think — and yet I don’t get to tap into the program that’s out there for everybody else,” she says.
“ ‘If we had a Paycheck Protection Program, we literally would use that money for keeping people on our payroll.’ ”
