Here’s what to know about the new pot shop in Salem that opened this week

Insa in Salem opened for recreational marijuana sales this week.Insa

Salem officially has a second recreational marijuana store.

Insa Inc. opened its adult-use pot shop in Salem this week, adding to the state’s log of nearly three dozen recreational marijuana shops across Massachusetts.

Insa opened its first recreational store in Easthampton in December 2018 and was among the first retailers to offer customers adult-use marijuana products.

The company also has a medical dispensary in Springfield, where company leaders have sued the City Council over the rejection of their proposal to open a shop for adult-use sales in the city, MassLive reported.

Salem’s first recreational marijuana shop, Alternative Therapies Group, was the state’s third, and it opened on an appointment-only basis in December 2018. That appointment-only requirement was later dropped.
