The five Chelsea shops on the state list

Cannabis Control Commission "Where to Buy" list, retrieved October 23, 2026. The list shows no other Chelsea entry.

All five rows are marked adult-use. The Commission's separate open license file, updated October 22, 2026, shows five active Marijuana Retailer licenses in Chelsea with operations started, and two Medical Marijuana Treatment Center licenses, at 200 Beacham Street and 80 Eastern Avenue. The file says nothing the sheet does not, but the two lists are built separately and a patient should ask a shop what it currently serves. The Where to Buy list has no date.

What the tracker says about Chelsea

The Municipal Zoning Tracker, read October 31, 2026, gives Chelsea adult-use "Zoning in place; license cap", delivery "Delivery permitted" and social consumption "No zoning in place". A license cap limits how many licenses the city will allow; the tracker does not give a number and neither does this page.

Revere, which borders Chelsea on the north, reads "Ban in place" for adult-use, and Boston, across the Mystic River, reads "Zoning in place". The tracker calls itself a general guide and gives no bylaw text, so the Chelsea town clerk is the source for what a street or a business may do.

About Chelsea

The Census Bureau estimated 40,245 residents in Chelsea on July 1, 2024 (an estimate, not the 2020 count). It covers 2.2 square miles of land and 0.2 of water.

The MBTA lists Chelsea station at 174 Everett Avenue, on the Newburyport/Rockport Line. The Silver Line SL3 runs between Chelsea Station and South Station.

Getting a medical card from Chelsea

The medical card process is the same everywhere in Massachusetts: a certifying provider, a PIN by email, then registration with the Commission, which charges nothing.
