What Sets Us Apart
The Tenax Difference
Since 2012, before Massachusetts even legalized cannabis, Tenax Strategies has been shaping cannabis policy and guiding operators through regulatory challenges. We've worked with retail dispensaries, multi-state cultivation operations, and product manufacturers across the country. Our work spans Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and other states. We've secured licenses in competitive markets and navigated complex local politics to open operations that are now expanding. Our team handles site selection, application development, municipal approvals, and regulatory compliance. The same expertise we've brought to Fortune 500 companies, non-profits, and trade organizations now drives results for cannabis clients.
We actually do the work. While other consultants offer advice, we build the strategy and execute it. When we face political opposition in a municipality, we organize community outreach meetings, engage directly with officials and elected leaders, and provide education about the industry and regulations. That approach has turned challenging debates into approvals. From initial concept through post-opening compliance, we use institutional knowledge and proven relationships to get results. Whether you need state licensing applications, municipal permits, pre-licensing inspections, or M&A positioning, we've worked with the government officials and regulatory agencies for decades. If there's a wall, we go over it, through it, or around it.
