Tonight,
I
will
be
facilitating
the
statutory
require
the
fire,
seating
cannabis
really
outreached
about
its
meeting.
This
is
an
application
by
the
grizzly
cannabis
or
a
proposal
at
1
30,
it's
November,
18
2017.,
please
know
I
know
the
statements
are
being
made
tonight
in
part
by
the
city
and
state
before
moving
on
to
the
Cannabis
board
and
designing
product
fields.
A
Business
there
will
be
time
for
a
few
questions
and
answers
and
comments
at
the
end
of
the
presentation.
Please
wait
until
the
present
statement
is
over
before
asking
questions.
There
is
an
open
comment
period,
meaning
that,
if
there
meaning,
if
you
do
not
get
called
out
tonight
or
if
you
think
of
a
question
that
have
not
been
answered,
you
can
reach
out
to
myself
or.
D
A
E
E
E
This
is
a
woman,
family
and
minority
owned
business.
This
is
a
local
business.
This
is
not
a
multi-state
operator
and
this
is
an
establishment
that
has
a
very
positive
track
record,
as
well
as
experience
specific
to
this
industry.
Now,
obviously,
as
shoes
stated
earlier,
this
is
not
the
end
of
the
process.
While
we
have
in
aged
over
the
last
several
months
with
any
number
of
stakeholders
ranging
from
our
Outreach
to
Residents
business
owners.
E
E
F
F
We
have
a
long
background,
which
is
on
our
screen
right
now.
We
actually
worked
for
30
years
in
the
chemical
fertilizer
industry
before
getting
involved
in
the
Cannabis
industry,
and
we
we
moved
on
kind
of
exported
ourselves
from
chemicals
and
fertilizers
and
got
involved
in
the
Cannabis
industry.
Part
of
the
reason
for
that
is
because
we
have
a
family
on
my
right.
Here
is
Corby
Campbell
and
on
another
screen
you
can
see
cleantha,
Campbell
and
Vincent
is
sitting
next
to
her.
That
is
her
fiance.
F
We
enjoy
the
Cannabis
industry
very
much
so
because
of
Corby
and
cleanses
and
Vincent's
in
interest.
We've
moved
into
the
Cannabis
space.
Client
Corby
is
the
manager
for
the
Nantucket
store
and
cleampa
is
the
manager
for
the
Newton
store
and
Vincent
has
been
acting
as
the
project
manager
to
help
open
the
Newton
store.
We
were
actually
in
Newton
today
having
our
post
provisional
license
inspection
with
the
Cannabis
Control
Commission,
so
we
rushed
from
Newton
got
back
on
the
island
of
Nantucket
and
we're
here
tonight
to
speak
with.
All
of
you.
E
Thank
you
very
much
Nicole,
so
just
to
provide
a
brief
overview.
As
we
mentioned,
this
is
an
established
business
that
has
existing
locations,
so
the
green
lady
opened
their
first
fully
vertically
integrated
establishment
on
the
island
of
Nantucket,
and
what
that
means
to
be
vertically
integrated
is
that
you
have
to
cultivate
your
own
product,
manufacture,
test
and
sell,
and
you
have
to
provide
both
medical
and
Retail
recreational.
E
So
this
team,
you
know,
having
their
first
store
located
on
an
island
where
you
can't
actually
trans
you
can't
transport
product
off
of
onto
the
island,
so
they
have
significant
experience
in
all
the
different
aspects
of
the
Cannabis
space.
Their
second
location,
which
is
proposed
to
be
at
740
Beacon
Street
in
Newton
Center,
is
going
to
be
opening
this
summer.
If
approved,
this
would
be
the
third
location
and
we'll
get
into
why
they
identified
this
specific
location
in
just
a
little
bit.
E
I
do
want
to
note
that
at
this
location
we
are
only
proposing
retail
recreational,
there
is
no
cultivation
and
there
is
no
manufacturing
on
site.
So,
in
terms
of
the
site
itself,
obviously
every
site
is
very
unique
and
we're
not
trying
to
compare
Boston
to
Nantucket
or
Boston
to
Newton.
This
site
was
chosen
for
a
number
of
reasons.
It
is
a
currently
vacant,
a
retail
site
in
a
mixed-used
business
that
is
actually
zoned
for
cannabis
to
be
only
a
conditional
use.
So
this
is
one
of
the
zones
where
cannabis
is
not
forbidden.
E
E
What
we
are
looking
to
do
again
is
strictly
retail
recreational.
We
are
proposing
seven
days
a
week
with
hours
of
operation
from
9am
to
nine
PM,
obviously,
that
9
pm
close
is
much
earlier
than
many
of
the
other
existing
businesses
such
as
bars,
clubs
and
restaurants.
In
the
neighborhood,
we
are
going
to
be
focusing
on
sourcing
our
product
from
a
variety
of
state
approved
establishments,
but
with
a
specific
focus
on
social
Equity,
economic
empowerment
and
Boston
Equity
applicants.
Again.
While
this
group
is
not
a
Boston
Equity
applicant,
it
is
locally
owned.
E
E
Obviously,
everyone
on
this
call
is
familiar
with
the
neighborhood
one
of
the
other
appealing
factors
was
the
proximity
to
public
transportation.
We
anticipate
the
the
vast
majority
of
our
clientele
will
come
via
either
public
transportation,
foot
or
bicycle.
However,
if
there
are
individuals
who
are
driving,
there
are
any
number
of
parking
garages
in
the
immediate
vicinity
that
they
can
utilize.
F
Thank
you.
This
slide
shows
the
floor
plan.
The
space
is
actually
on
three
levels
upon
entering
each
Patron
is
greeted
by
a
staff
member
who
you
could
think
of
as
a
conductor.
This
staff
member
will
conduct
the
initial
initial
check
of
the
patrons
identification
and
will
then
direct
each
Patron
to
either
the
upper
or
middle
level
of
the
establishment
based
on
the
capacity
of
each
level.
F
At
the
time,
the
conductor
will
utilize
a
walkie-talkie
to
communicate
with
staff
at
each
level
so
that
he
or
she
is
aware
of
the
capacity
on
each
of
the
floors
to
know
where
to
send
them.
The
conductor
will
also
monitor
the
frontage
of
the
store
to
ensure
that
there
are
no
lines
forming
and
there
is
no
loitering.
The
unique
layout
of
this
establishment
with
multiple
floors
allows
the
green
lady
to
manage
the
flow
of
its
patrons
and
prevent
queuing
in
a
public
way.
E
G
We
realize
that
to
technology
has
come
far,
there's
a
lot
of
opportunities
for
underage
minors
to
obtain
this,
and
really
what
they've
done
and
they've
thwarted
and
there's
been
no
record
of
anyone
who's
underage
coming
into
the
facility.
And
we
understand
that,
given
the
location
of
this
proposal,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
and
to
highlight
the
fact
that,
while
there's
an
understanding
that
there's
a
institution
of
higher
ed
close
by
their
staff,
stands
ready
and
able
to
make
sure
that
people
only
21
and
older
are
going
to
be
able
to
go
into
the
facility.
G
At
the
same
time,
in
the
likely
event
that
anyone
is
in
the
facility,
the
person
will
be
escorted
out.
There's
going
to
be
consequences
for
the
employee
that
allowed
them
in.
But
one
major
component
of
this
as
well
is
that
all
staff
is
going
to
be
trained
with
a
response
responsible,
vendor
training
program
and
I.
Think
having
gone
through
the
operating
procedures
with
the
team
at
the
green
lady.
They
go
well
above
and
beyond
what
the
regulations
require
for
the
Cannabis
commission
and
also
what
the
Boston
cannabis
board
requirements
are.
G
G
The
seat
of
sale,
tracking
program
which
we
have
in
Massachusetts
is
called
metric
and
that
and
that
ensures
that
we
know
where
the
product
is
along
the
line
of
the
chain
of
command
until
it
gets
out
the
door.
So
you
will
know
who's
purchasing
that
product.
It
will
be
all
inventoried.
Everything
has
to
be
reported
to
the
Cannabis
Control
Commission.
G
There
really
is
no
greater
security
system,
I
think
than
our
sea
to
sale
tracking
system,
because
it
really
ensures
the
fact
that
the
products
are
going
to
people
who
have
identifications
that
prove
they're
over
21
and
at
the
same
time
we
understand
what
kinds
of
products
are
going
out.
The
door
yeah
you're
able
to
really
take
monitor
that
and
to
really
adapt
to
what
the
needs
of
the
consumers
are.
E
Thank
you
very
much,
so
just
going
in
again
we're
not
going
to
read
all
of
this.
We
know
that
this
is
not
the
first
cannabis
proposal
that
anyone
here
has
seen
as
everyone
here
is
aware.
This
is
a
highly
highly
regulated
industry.
This
is
not.
The
regulations
require
far
more
than
a
bar,
a
restaurant,
a
nightclub
and
even
far
more
than
a
pharmacy,
which
is
actually
housing
far
more
products
that
could
pose
a
threat.
E
The
requirements
of
the
CCC
actually
are
much
more
stringent
for
a
retail
cannabis
dispensary
than
the
state's
requirements
for
a
pharmacy.
So
not
only
will
the
green
lady
adhere
to
and
meet
all
the
requirements
of
the
CCC
and
the
Boston
cannabis
board.
They
actually
go
above
and
beyond.
As
part
of
that,
we
will
be
contracting
with
an
experienced
security
and
alarm
company
with
specific
experience
in
the
Cannabis
industry.
As
part
of
that
alarm
system,
All
Points
of
Entry
will
be
alarmed.
There
will
be
redundant
alarms.
E
E
Additionally,
the
space
will
be
fully
surveilled,
so
inside
the
establishment
there
will
be
cameras
that
will
cover
at
all
times
24
hours,
seven
days
a
week,
any
area
in
which
cannabis
is
being
stored,
any
area
in
which
cannabis
is
being
sold,
your
windows,
your
doors,
any
area
where
there
could
be
access
or
there
could
be
access
to
cannabis
Additionally.
The
CCC
requires
that
the
exterior
is
fully
surveilled
and
that's
something
that
we
take
very
seriously.
E
In
addition
to
ensuring
there
is
adequate
lighting
so
that
you
can
properly
view
the
exterior
at
all
times,
those
cameras
are
on
24
hours,
seven
days
a
week
and
they're
retained
a
minimum
of
90
days
and
law
enforcement,
and
any
government
agency
has
access
to
that
that
footage
at
any
time.
Additionally,
these
cameras
and
the
security
that
we're
putting
in
place
helps
prevent
the
kind
of
quality
of
life
concerns
that
we
know
are
really
important.
This
team
does
not
view
their
responsibility
as
ending
when
a
patron
walks
out
plugged.
In
my.
E
Think
someone
is
accidentally
commuted
themselves,
so
we
don't
view
our
responsibility
is
ending
when
patrons
walk
out
the
door.
We
understand
their
significant
concerns
about
public
consumption
and
related
concerns,
so
one
of
the
things
that
this
establishment
is
committed
to
doing
and
that
many
in
Boston
have
done
very
successfully
and
in
fact
across
the
Commonwealth,
is
enter
into
a
good
neighbor
agreement.
E
And
what
that
means
is
that
every
one
of
our
patrons
is
going
to
sign
an
agreement
that
states
that
they
understand
all
of
the
rules
and
regulations
of
the
city,
the
Boston
cannabis
board,
the
Cannabis
Control
Commission
and
any
of
the
rules,
regulations
of
law
or
laws
as
they
pertain
to
cannabis
or
cannabis
consumption,
and
that
includes
loitering,
public
consumption
and
similar
concerns.
Double
parking,
which
we
really
don't
think
is
going
to
be
an
issue
here.
But
those
real
quality
of
life
concerns.
I
E
That
good
neighbor
agreement,
anyone
who's
found
to
violate
the
agreement,
will
be
permanently
banned
and
actually
the
system
that
we
use
to
ID
into
is
tied
directly
to
our
point
of
sale
service.
So
there
will
be
an
active
list
of
anyone,
who's
no
longer
permitted
into
the
establishment,
and
that's
actually
something
that
that
we've
seen
be
very
successful
in
these
establishments
throughout
the
city.
E
So
I
won't
go
too
in
depth
on
diversity
and
inclusion.
Obviously,
this
is
again
a
minority,
woman
and
family-owned
business,
so
diversity
inclusion
is
integral
to
this
team
throughout
all
aspects
of
the
business,
and
that
includes
our
our
ownership
team,
our
management
team
and
our
employees.
As
you
can
see
here,
we
have
broken
out
our
hiring
goals
and
with
a
focus
on
underserved
communities,
underrepresented
communities
and
those
disproportionately
impacted
by
the
fail
War
on
Drugs,
with
our
anticipated
20
to
25
employees.
We're
going
to
be
really
focused
on
hitting
these
metrics.
E
E
So
I'm
now
going
to
turn
to
what
we
call
the
heat
Maps.
So,
as
you
can
see
here,
this
is
a
map,
that's
based
on
the
Census
Data.
One
of
the
comments
that
we've
heard
throughout
the
community
process
is
a
concern
over
whether
there's
going
to
be
a
density
of
these
establishments
approved
in
any
specific
part
of
the
city
and
just
to
orient
you
so
the
green
star
is
the
proposed
location.
E
Now,
looking
to
this,
the
the
color
labeling,
it's
a
little
doesn't
quite
follow
logically,
but
we're
working
with
with
the
Census
Data
put
out.
So
the
yellow
areas
are
your
highest
population.
The
highest
population
density
in
the
city
you
are
orange,
are
very
high
and
your
red
are
high,
and
this
is
all
pursuant
to
the
Census
Data.
This
is
just
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
an
idea
when
we're
looking
at
density
of
like
a
similar
retail
businesses.
This
map
shows
you
keeping
the
Green
in
mind.
E
E
This
next
slide
that
we're
going
to
turn
to
shows
you
the
density
of
liquor
licenses,
and
we
actually
think
this
is
a
particularly
informative
slide.
Anyone
who
has
followed
the
legalization
of
adult
use,
retail
recreational
Cannabis
knows
that
these
laws
were
very
specifically
modeled
after
the
laws
that
allow
for
liquor
licenses
so
again
to
orient
you,
the
green
is
the
proposed
license
premise
and
all
of
these
are
showing
the
density
and
saturation
of
liquor
licenses
in
the
area.
J
E
And
then,
most
importantly,
we
turn
to
this
final
slide
again.
Now
it's
the
yellow
star.
This
shows
the
not
only
operational
retail
recreational
establishments
but
any
approved
by
the
Boston
cannabis
Sport
and,
as
you
can
see
here,
there
are
no
approved
not
only
not
operational.
There
are
no
approved
retail
recreational
cannabis
dispensaries
within
a
one-half
mile.
Despite
this
population
density
of
this
location.
One
of
the
concerns
that
we
heard
again
was
the
the
thought
of
a
green
mile
or
a
saturation
in
certain
neighborhoods
downtown.
E
As
you
can
see
here,
there
are
neighborhoods
in
downtown
Boston
that
do
have
a
density
of
cannabis
establishments.
You
see
here
in
the
financial
district,
there's
some
density
in
the
Back
Bay
there's
some
density.
Where
we're
looking
at
here.
There
is
no
density,
It's,
actually
an
underserved
neighborhood,
especially
given
the
fact
that
this
Ward
and
Precinct
voted
over
65
percent
in
favor
of
legalizing
adult
use.
Cannabis
Which
is
far
above
the
the
percentage
in
support
in
the
Commonwealth
and
also
above
the
percentage
in
support
that
voted
in
the
city
of
Boston.
E
When
the
green
lady
team
was
looking
at
potential
locations,
they
were
very
intentional
about
looking
to
places
that
were
underserved
they're,
not
looking
to
site
next
to
another
establishment.
This
map
really
emphasizes
the
fact
that
we
feel
this
is
an
underserved
community
and
that
the
right
operators
with
the
right
proposal
and
the
right
mitigation
plan
can
meet
that
need
which
is
not
currently
being
met
in
an
area
that
again
voted
over
65
percent
in
support
of
legalizing
adult
use
cannabis
I.
E
We
think
that
we
can
do
that
without
any
negative
impact
to
the
established
to
the
to
our
neighbors,
both
residential
and
Commercial.
One
thing
and
I
will
stop
sharing
we're.
You
know
we're
here
to
answer
questions
we're
here
to
continue
this
conversation.
You
know
one
thing
and
I
think
the
fact
that
both
Jan
and
I
are
on
this
team
is
reflective
of
the
fact
that
we
really
believe
in
this
applicant
I
was
the
executive
secretary
a
to
the
Boston
Canada
sport,
so
I
was
involved
in
drafting
their
rules
and
regulations.
E
And
here
I
think
this
is
a
team
that
has
been
very
thoughtful
not
only
in
where
they're
looking
to
cite,
but
also
in
their
Outreach,
which
again
has
included
Outreach
to
higher
education,
and
you
know
and
repeated
requests
to
meet
with
higher
education.
It's
Outreach
to
service
providers
in
the
neighborhood
to
residential
neighbors,
to
commercial
neighbors,
to
elected
officials
and
we're
not
looking
to
stop
there.
E
We're
here
to
continue
the
conversation
and
I
think
that's
something
that
you
don't
often
see
with
proponents,
who
think
they
have
their
Community
meetings
and
they
simply
move
forward
and
I.
Think
this
team,
again,
in
addition
to
being
a
woman,
minority
and
family
owned,
is
very
unique
in
how
thoughtful
they
have
been
in
approaching
this,
and
with
that
again
we
don't
look
at
this
as
the
end
of
the
conversation.
D
D
J
J
I
taken
some
notes,
so
excuse
me
for
looking
down
good
evening.
My
name
is
Jordana
she's
needle
and
I
live
on
the
top
portion
of
Marlborough
Street
I'm,
actually
very
happy
to
hear
this
proposal
and
very
glad
that
it's
going
to
be
a
locally
owned
certified
minority
business
six
years
ago,
I
felt
more
cautious
about
it,
but
I've
educated,
myself
and
I
now
fully
support
this
form
of
plant
medicine
and
I've
actually
personally
benefited
from
it.
From
a
business
standpoint,
many
businesses
in
the
neighborhood
did
not
survive.
J
Covid
we've
seen
this
with
the
increase
in
empty
storefronts.
I
think
that
this
application
is
presenting
a
unique
opportunity
that
we
should
support
and
as
someone
that
has
had
the
privilege
of
working
with
my
family's
business,
it's
exciting
to
me
that
a
family-owned
business
wants
to
operate
in
the
neighborhood
and
be
part
of
it
is.
D
J
J
F
F
E
E
A
very
strict
ban
on
not
just
consumption
in
our
establishment,
but
also
public
consumption,
and
there
is
at
some
point
years
down
the
road
going
to
be
a
conversation
about
social
consumption
lounges.
That
is
not
what
this
is
and
and
Jen
I'm
going
to
just
ask
you
to
touch
briefly
on
that,
because
I
know
you've
been
very
involved.
I.
G
Think
the
most
important
piece
is
that
the
regs
do
not
even
allow
people
to
loiter
outside.
So
this
is
an
establishment
where
you're
going
to
the
facility
you're
going
in
you're,
getting
your
product
and
you're
and
you're
walking
away
and
I
I
think
it's
been
estimated
over
the
last
five
years
or
so
that
it
takes
roughly
20
minutes
from
the
time
of
Entry.
Until
the
time
you
leave
it's,
it's
not
something
that
you're
walking
around
the
store.
I
E
That's
one
of
the
reasons
that
you
know
when
we're
not
proposing
any
sort
of
seating
inside
for
someone
to
sit
down
and
contemplate
their
their
purchase.
There's
absolutely
no
seating
outside
and
one
of
the
unique
as
Nicole
detailed
one
of
the
unique
things
about
this
space
is
that
as
soon
as
a
patron
enters,
we
have
that
dedicated
conductor
who,
in
addition
to
checking
IDs,
is
monitoring
and
directing
patrons
to
ensure
one
that
there's
no
queuing
outside
and
because
this
is
a
fairly
large
facility
on
three
floors.
E
We
have
adequate
space
to
house
individuals,
although
to
be
honest,
you're
not
seeing
queuing
outside
in
the
Cannabis
industry.
At
this
point
you
know
Brookline
five
years
ago,
yes,
but
because
of
the
fact
that
in
you
know,
in
the
city
of
Boston
alone,
under
the
law
we
have
to
have
a
minimum
of
20
of
the
retail
liquor
store
licenses.
So
that
amounts
right
now
to
about
56
retail
dispensaries
right.
E
So
there
there
is
no
shortage
as
more
of
these
establishments
open
of
places
to
go
so
you're,
simply
not
seeing
that
qn,
but
also
having
that
conductor
and
having
that
person
right
there
at
the
door.
We
have
the
ability
to
Monitor
and
again
we
consider
it
our
responsibility
to
also
be
policing
in
front
of
our
establishment
and
that's
something
that
we're
committed
to.
F
F
Actually
that's
something
that
I'm
very
passionate
about
cannabis,
really
appeals
to
people
of
all
ages,
all
ethnicities
and
all
social
classes.
We've
seen
that
over
the
years
we've
seen
you
can
have
people
blue
collar
workers
who
just
finished
a
days
of
hard
work.
You
know
doing
electrical
or
Plumbing
or
construction
coming
to
our
store,
and
you
can
also
see
upper
income
individual
shopping.
F
You
can
see
people
of
all
age
groups,
it's
really
goes
across
all
age,
ethnicities,
backgrounds
and
that's
one
of
the
things
with
the
history
of
cannabis
is
that
they
significantly
arrested
and
jailed
more
people
of
color
for
consuming
cannabis,
whereas
the
statistics
show
that
it
is
a
very
diverse
subject
that
people
participate
in
and
consume.
So
that's
why
they
know
what
the
policing
records
that
people
of
color
have
been
unfairly
targeted
because
they
know
statistically
that
people,
of
course
across
all
ethnicities,
consume
cannabis.
So.
F
But
will
we
gear
the
products
that
we
purchased
towards
all
age
groups
over
the
age
of
21.?
Obviously
we
do
not
want
to
see
or
entice
anybody
under
the
age
of
21
into
our
store.
They
must
be
over
21,
but
we
have
different
things.
For
example,
we
do
a
lot
of
topicals
which
people
use
you
know
for
aches
and
pains
you
can
put
on
the
surface
of
your
skin.
We
do
a
lot
of
sleeping
products
are
incredibly
popular.
F
I
think
that
it's
almost
Universal
of
that
people
have
problems
sleeping
and
that's
some
of
our.
In
our
other
stores,
our
highest
selling
products
is
sleep
aids,
so
again,
I
don't
really
know,
for
example,
who
has
issues
sleeping,
but
that
is
definitely
one
of
the
most
important
products
that
people
purchase.
Nancy.
G
I
think
to
talk
to
you
I
think,
to
speak
to
your
question:
is
this
product's
not
being
geared
towards
college
students
and
it
might
be
located
near
a
college
institution,
but
with
the
legalization
of
cannabis
we
have
requirements
that
it
has
to
be
within
certain
distances,
from
K
to
12
and
from
other
other
places,
there's
no
cannabis
establishment
in
Massachusetts.
That
is,
that
is
targeting
college
students.
The
mere
fact
that
you
can't
have
certain
colors
of
Edibles.
G
You
can't
have
certain
shapes
of
Edibles,
the
mere
fact
that
their
advertising
isn't
a
lot
of
them
really
on
the
outside
of
the
building
that
we're
not
using
cannabis.
Flowers
in
the
logos,
the
fact
that
you
have
advertising
restrictions
that
you
can't
have
things
on
billboards
I
mean
you
can't
have
things
that
are
in
local
stores.
G
Having
you
know
those
you
pin
up
a
fly,
or
what
have
you
this
product
in
this
location
in
every
other
location,
is
geared
towards
adults
and
it's
difficult
in
the
city
of
Boston,
because
you
have
a
mixture
of
college
campuses.
You
have
communities,
you
have
associations
and
the
like,
but
the
regulations
that
the
green
lady
has
to
adhere
to
you're,
not
targeting
college
students
and
I
know
that
there's
always
an
argument
to
say.
Well,
we
have
a
college
institution
here,
yes
and
your
freshman
sophomores
and
juniors
are
most
likely
going
to
be
under
2
21.
G
While
your
seniors
are
not
and
that's
a
difficult
balance
to
strike
the
reality.
Is
that
you're
also
in
a
part
of
Boston
that
has
frequented
by
many
people
in
the
business
community
that
people
are
coming
and
going
from
the
train
that
they're
on
the
Boston
Common.
So
what
the
proposal
has
and
what
they're
going
to
do
is
they're
going
to
Market
this
and
Target
this
to
adults.
G
And
in
fact
the
reason
why
we
have
the
labels
on
the
packaging
is
to
ensure
that
if
people
have
the
product,
you
know
it
came
from
a
licensed
dispensary,
because
there's
been
articles
in
the
newspaper
that
young
adults
have
shown
up
at
the
emergency
room
and
that
has
been
influx
of
people
who
have
over
consumed.
And
what
it's
been
proven
is
all
those
products
have
come
from
online
and
overseas.
They've
not
come
from
the
dispensaries
in
Massachusetts,
and
so
there's
there's
great
restrictions
in
place
which,
in
full
disclosure
I
voted.
No.
G
On
the
on
the
Cannabis
question
and,
and
people
like
to
make
fun
of
me
about
that
all
the
time,
because
I
voted,
no
one
then
got
appointed
to
the
commission,
and
it
was
my
job
to
make
sure
that
we
had
these
restrictions
in
place
so
that
kids
couldn't
get
it.
And
there
was
no
marketing
to
people
under
the
age
of
21..
There's.
H
B
G
Think
I
was
you
well,
you
can't
well,
you
can.
First
of
all,
all
college
institutions
are
drug-free
zones,
so
you're
not
supposed
to
have
drugs
of
any
kind
in
a
drug-free
zone
so
whether
you're
over
21
or
you're
under
21?
It's
not
supposed
to
be
in
your
possession
on
the
college
campus,
there's
nothing
that
a
cannabis
institution
can
do
to
prevent
someone
in
a
private
residence.
G
E
And
I,
just
just
to
follow,
follow
up
on
what
Jen
said,
and
that
goes
to
the
seed
to
sale
tracking
right.
If,
if
there
is
something
that
is
detected
on
the
college
campus
and
the
again
you
reach
out,
not
only
can
we
track
down
and
are
legally
required
to
maintain
this
information
to
whom
it
was
sold.
We
can
tell
you
when
we
have
their
ID
scanned
in,
we
can
tell
you
who
sold
it
to
them.
We
can
go
out
and
that's
what
CD
cell
is.
E
A
E
Might
have
accidentally
at,
but
the
the
other
thing
I
think
is
worth
noting.
If
you
are
a
barber
restaurant
and
you
know
I'm
sure,
Emerson
deals
with
this
all
the
time
they're
surrounded
by
bars
and
restaurants.
I
know
they're
part
of
the
beer
garden.
That's
opened
right
across
the
street
that
that's
a
challenge,
I'm
sure,
that's
a
challenge
to
be
dealing
with
their
residents
and
ensuring
that
that
they're
not
accessing
alcohol
underage.
E
If
you
having
been
on
both
the
liquor
board
and
the
Cannabis
board,
if
you
get
caught
selling
to
or
serving
to
someone
who's,
underage
alcoholic
beverages,
you're
going
to
get
a
suspension
right,
that's
you're
going
to
get
a
suspension
of
your
license.
If
you
get
caught
selling
to
someone
underage
at
a
cannabis
establishment,
you're
going
to
lose
your
business,
that's
how
highly
regulated
that
this
is
there's
nothing
to
be
gained
by
you
know,
selling
to
someone
under
age
and
when
it
comes
to
Diversion.
E
That
is
why
we
have
the
seed
to
sell
tracking
system
and
why
we
want
to
have
productive
conversations
right.
That's
why
we
want
to
be
partners,
but
again,
this
is
not
in
the
middle.
We
understand
the
proximity
we're
sensitive
to
it.
It's
why
we
really
want
to
work
with
with
the
stakeholders
there.
Next.
D
M
Thanks
so
much
so,
I
actually
represent
the
one
Charles
Condominiums,
that's
right
around
the
corner
from
where
the
establishment
is
proposed.
So
my
concern
is
power.
Is
it's
going
to
be
regulated
for
voting
in
the
area?
How
how
can
we
keep
we
are?
We
already
have
a
high
homeless
and
transient
persons
around
the
area,
so
we're
just
wondering
how
this
is
going
to
help
control
vets.
E
Do
I
think
there's
a
couple
of
pieces
here
there
there's
one
in
order
to
access
this
establishment.
You
have
to
have
identification
and
we
also
reserve
the
right
to
turn
away
anyone
if
they
seem
like
they
are
intoxicated
or
if
there's
some
sort
of
concern
about
whether
their
identification
is
valid.
M
Yeah
just
to
follow
up
on
that
too,
so
I
actually
managed
a
property
that
was
across
some
Berkshire
roots
in
East,
Boston,
I'm,
not
sure.
If
you're
familiar
with
that
as
well.
But
at
that
property
we
had
a
a
difficult
time
with
people
that
would
drive
in
and
just
park
along
the
streets
or
park
in
front
of
the
parking
garage,
and
it
was
very
disruptive
to
the
residents
there.
M
I
know
it's
a
little
bit
different
of
set
up
here,
and
you
said
that,
because
it
is
so
close
to
you
know
public
transportation
and
because
it
is
a
big
walking
area,
we
might
not
have
that.
But
is
there
a
specific
items
in
place
so
that
we
can
discourage
people
from
double
parking
from
parking
where
they
shouldn't
be
in
order
to
keep
up
with
the
traffic
flow,
because
I
know
that
traffic
is
a
very
big
concern
in
the
area
as
well.
Absolutely.
E
F
E
Also
think
they
had
some
very
unique
challenges,
especially
as
you
obviously
know
that
stream
that
street
already
had
issues
right.
So
this
that
compounded
it
in
some
ways,
especially
being
one
of
I,
think
the
first
to
open
in
East
Boston.
One
of
the
things
that
we
talked
about
earlier
was
this
idea
of
the
conductor
right.
This
individual
who's
going
to
be
located
at
the
entry,
and
it's
going
to
be
monitoring
this-
that
the
sidewalk,
but
also
things
like
double
parking.
E
And
when
we
talk
about
that
good
neighbor
agreement,
double
parking
is
going
to
be
part
of
it
or
parking
illegally,
because,
obviously
that
is
that
you
don't
want
that
for
any
retail
establishment,
especially
in
a
downtown
neighborhood.
So
that's
something
that
we
absolutely
take
very
seriously
and
are
putting
in
place
strategies
to
ensure
that,
that's
being
that,
not
only
is
it
prohibited
in
terms
of
our
patrons,
but
that
we're
actively
working
to
say,
hey
you
can't
park
there.
You've
got
to
move
along.
N
N
So
even
though
there
is
no
intended
marketing
to
this
group,
but
someone
walking
up
and
down
that
road
a
few
times
in
a
day,
you
know
you
really
don't
need
marketing
right.
It's
self-inviting
these
people
and
I
worry.
How
are
you
going
to
track
the
product
once
it
has
left
the
premises?
You
talked
a
lot
about.
You
know
from
cultivating
all
the
way
to
the
sale,
but
after
the
point
of
sale
it
has
left,
there
is
no
way
to
track
right
on
on
where
that
product
goes
and
who
ultimately
consumes
it.
G
Well,
I
think
it's
important!
You
know
you
can't
track
any
product
once
it
leaves
the
store.
You
can
talk
about
clothes,
alcohol,
cannabis.
What
have
you
that's?
The
partnership
between
law
enforcement
and
and
cannabis
industry,
and
also,
quite
frankly,
it's
the
the
public
awareness
campaign
that
we
have,
and
we
created
back
in
2018
more
about
marijuana,
to
really
talk
to
youth,
about
the
fact
that
things
could
happen
to
you
when
if
you
do
get
caught
with
it,
I
mean
what
most
people
don't
understand
is
because
this
is
a
federally
illegal
product.
G
If
you
get
caught
on
federal
charges
and
you're
underage,
you
can
lose
your
financial
aid
for
five
years
and
a
lot
of
parents
don't
have
that
conversation
with
their
their
youngsters,
because
they
don't
understand
that,
but
there's
a
there's
an
average
number
of
people
that
get
caught
on
federal
charges
with
this.
Just
because
it's
legal
here
doesn't
mean
it's
a
free-for-all.
G
So
I
think
it's
part
of
a
bigger
conversation
to
have
with
students,
which
we
all
know
that,
if
you're
going
to
college
they're,
also
having
you
know,
there's
trainings
on
on
drugs
and
how
to
to
stay
safe
and
how
to
make
yourself
aware
of.
What's
going
on
it's
the
same
thing
with
this
I
mean
we
have
the
same
conversations
in
the
City
of
Fitchburg,
where
this,
where
there's
establishments
and
there's
also
a
college,
and
so
that's
a
basically
a
commuter
college,
and
so
really
it
comes
down
to
the
fact
that
the
communities
have
bigger
conversations.
G
There's
no
excuses
to
be
made
that
none
of
us
can
track
a
product
once
it's
left
the
the
place
that
you
bought
it
at.
What
we
can
say
is
that
there
are
preventative
methods
that
we
can
have
to
not
let
you
obtain
that
product
in
the
first
place
you
can
walk
up
and
down
the
street
35
times
a
day
and
the
way
that
we
prevent
a
lot
of
the
marketing
on
the
on
the
walls
or
on
the
outside
of
the
facility.
G
Unless
you
know
it's,
there,
you're
not
going
to
be
enticed
to
go
into
the
place
unless
your
curiosity
gets
the
best
of
you.
There's
no
cannabis
plants
in
any
of
the
logos
in
Massachusetts
they're
not
allowed
to
have
that
you're
only
allowed
to
have
the
name
on
the
building
you're
not
allowed
to
have
any
other
Fanfare
with
with
regards
to
the
building
or
the
or
the
business.
G
So
you
know
people
like
to
compare
cannabis
to
a
lot
of
the
other
businesses
in
Massachusetts,
where
you
can
have
posters
up
and
you
can
have
bright
colors
and
you
can
do
all
these
things.
I,
usually
compare
dispensaries
to
like
a
high-end
shoe
store,
they're,
very
minimal
things
are
locked
in
the
cabinets
you
can't
see
inside
there's
no
windows,
and
so,
unless
you're,
a
youngster
knows
that
it's
there
and
tries.
G
D
D
C
C
My
name
is
Susan
Chief
and
I
live
on
Boylston
Street,
so
she's,
just
one
block
up.
My
husband
and
I
ran
a
family
business
together
for
many
years.
I
understand
how
challenging
and
rewarding
it
is
on
the
path
to
success.
The
green
lady
has
shown
themselves
to
be
successful.
Operators
on
Nantucket,
and
they
have
also
achieved
approval
in
Newton
I
feel
that
it
would
be
a
privilege
to
welcome
them
to
Boston.
They
are
clearly
invested
in
customer
education
in
the
neighborhood
and
she
is
happy
to
support
the
proposal.
K
If
you
look
at
the
neighborhood
are
associated
with
food
right,
the
current
one,
where
we
have
the
beer
garden
at
the
corner
of
Boylston
and
Tremont
that
is
associated
with
that's
in
in
collaboration
with
Emerson
College,
so
they're
controlling
that.
So
there
is
a
difference
with
regard
to
the
the
student.
What
the
student
population
can
do
and
cannot
so
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out
to
you
because
I'm
not
sure
that
you,
you
understood
that
and
then
also
you
talked
about.
You
know
the
65
voting
for
legalizing
cannabis
and
I.
K
Think
you
may
not
understand
why
someone
would
vote
to
do
that.
It's
not
that!
Maybe
they
want
to
use
it.
But
as
noted
in
earlier
conversation
or
earlier
Point
by
Nicole
Campbell,
the
people
want
equity
for
all.
So
why
would
why
would
you
penalize
someone
for
you
know
whatever
it
is
an
ounce
or
whatever
it
is
so
this
was
the
the
motivating
factor.
It
wasn't
that
people
want
to
go
out
and
smoke
pot
or
and
do
that
they
want
to
equalize
the
field
in
the
sense
of
hey.
This
isn't
fair
for
some.
K
So
let's
make
it
fair
for
all.
With
regard
to
the
neighborhood
and
I
understand
that
there
it
has
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
sure
if
I
understand
this
correctly,
but
from
the
conversation
where
it
said.
Who
is
your
target
audience
and
if
you're
I
didn't
I
didn't
get
the
feeling
that
there
was
a
business
study
to
say
these
are
the
exact
people
that
we're
targeting
because,
for
example,
I'll
give
you
an
example,
you
have
Emerson
College
there.
K
So
what
are
the
little
stores
that
pop
up
around
it
are
the
ones
that
are
servicing
them
when
the
transportation
building
was
in
full
swing,
so
the
transportation
building,
not
all
the
people
have
come
back
to
the
office,
but
when
they
were
in
full
swing,
the
Starbucks
that
was
there
was
servicing
them.
They
had
to
go,
they
stopped.
K
They
went
out
of
business
because
they
weren't
able
to
service
the
clientele
anymore.
So
when
you
look
at
the
neighborhood
right,
you
have
an
historical
park
across
the
street
so
that
people
come
and
they
do,
if
you're
not
familiar,
they
do
tours
in
there
so
that
you
have
tours
come
in.
They
have
people
dressed
up
and
they
take
them
for
a
tour
around
there.
K
So
with
that
known,
right
and
you're,
saying
to
us
that
you
want
to
you
want
to
Target
All
Peoples,
but
here
that
you
have
to
know
who
the
people
are
in
this
area
right.
So
if
you
don't
know
who
these
people
are,
this
is
more
of
a
family
area.
Although
we
have
the
park
and
we
have,
we
have
the
college
next
to
us
it's
these.
Are
these
are
family.
So
then
I
want
to
make
here's
my
question,
because
Jen
stated
that
this
cannabis
is
high-end,
like
a
high-end
shoe
store.
K
L
L
It's
an.
It
is
not
up
to
the
police
to
take
care
of
it.
The
police
are
not
do
not
enforce
quality
of
life
issue.
The
police
are
quite
clearly-
and
they
stated
this
at
their
safety
meeting-
concentrating
on
violent
crime
in
this
area,
they're,
not
concentrating
on
keeping
people
from
smoking
cannabis
in
the
in
the
common
they're,
not
interested
in
small
drug
deals.
This
is
at
this
point
once
this
cannabis
is
sold
and
whether
it's
sold
to
a
senior
in
Emerson,
College
or
anybody
else,
and
they
walk
out
that
door.
L
B
B
We
already
have
cannabis
in
this
neighborhood.
My
residents
use
it.
They
I
know
that
they
go
to
the
one.
That's
that's
down
the
street
from
us.
I
don't
understand
why
there's
another
one
need
to
come
into
this
dense
area
and
if
you
look
at
the
map
of
density
I'm
right
in
the
smack
middle
of
it,
of
the
area
that
we're
talking
about
and
I
just
think
that
location,
wise
I,
don't
think
this
is
the
best
location
for
us
and
certainly
impactful
to
the
hotel
and
to
the
residents
and
everything
else.
B
O
Hi
yeah,
so
I
I
joined
the
meeting
late,
but
I
just
want
to
comment
because
it
seems
like
there's
a
lot
of
concerns
about
the
location.
I
also
live
around
the
corner
from
the
proposed
location,
and
you
know
I
understand
the
concerns
with
young
children
and
I.
Don't
have
children
of
my
own,
so
I
can't
comment.
I
can't
quite
comment
on
that.
O
But,
to
be
honest,
a
lot
of
these
Cannabis
stores
are
very
the
the
the
signage
is.
The
signage
is
not
as
flashy
as
signage
at
signage.
For
a
lot
of
other
places,
they
tend
to
be
very
discreet
and
covered
from
the
places
that
I
have
passed
by
in
Boston.
Sometimes
you
really
even
have
to
like
focus
on
the
sign
to
understand
that
it
is
a
cannabis,
dispensary
and
I'm.
Just
gonna
be
honest.
There
are
some
really,
you
know
way
more
obvious
and
not
discrete
storefronts
in
the
neighborhood.
O
There's
a
smoke
shop
down
the
store
that
has
I'm
just
going.
To
be
frank:
it
has
these
glass
bongs
sitting
in
the
window.
It's
it's!
It's
gross
and
I
mean
I.
Wouldn't
want
my
kid
walking
by
that.
But
if
we're
talking
about
a
legalized
cannabis,
dispensary,
that's
going
to
be
very
discreet
and
have
you
know,
there's
usually
a
police
officer,
a
security
guard
at
the
doorway.
It's
very
discreet.
You
walk
in
you
go
in.
O
There
are
limits
on
what
you
can
buy,
I
guess,
somebody's
client
right
there,
yeah
I
mean
I,
guess
I
would
say:
I,
don't
think
the
business
owners
matter
like
when
I
walk
by
that
smoke
shop,
that's
right
near
La,
Belle,
Nails,
I,
think
it's
I
think
that's
really
gross
and
like
it's,
it's
not
discreet.
It's
right.
There
I
mean
there's.
O
Also
there's
also
a
cigar
store
right
near
the
trolley
station
near
the
baloco
on
the
corner,
like
I,
just
I,
don't
think
the
argument
that
you
know
the
location
and
the
fact
that
they're,
you
know
that's
gonna-
be
make
such
an
impact
on
the
community.
I
just
disagree.
I
personally,
disagree
with
that
argument.
I
think
there's
so
many
other
places
that
are
way
more.
You
know
in
your
face,
not
discreet.
O
I
would
much
rather
see
that
than
see
all
these
empty,
empty
stores,
these
abandoned
stores
and
I
think
a
lot
of
that's
the
product
of
the
pandemic,
but
we
see
a
lot
of
that
there
and,
quite
frankly,
I
think
it's
made
our
community
sad.
If
we're
talking
about
a
cannabis,
dispensary,
that's
going
to
be
discreet
and
have
discrete
signage,
I,
don't
think
that's
as
big
of
a
problem.
Thank.
P
Yeah
hi,
this
is
Angelica
Anderson,
College,
Police,
Department
I'm.
Also
here
with
Robert
Miller
who's,
our
detective.
Obviously
we
got
all
sorts
of
issues
going
Beyond.
You
know.
As
far
as
clearly
statistics
you
know
we're,
there's
going
to
be
Word
of
Mouth,
obviously,
between
students
that
I,
you
know,
I
keep
hearing
all
about.
Advertising
is
going
to
be
this
and
there's
not
going
to
be
signs
that
the
students
are
going
to
tell
each
other,
hey
guess.
P
What's
around
the
corner,
hey
you
want
me
to
pick
you
up
something
but
I'm
not
even
going
to
get
into
that,
because
that's
that's
further
down
the
road
I
heard
something
about
as
far
as
the
establishment
themselves
doing
like
Community
type
policing
on
their
behalf.
As
far
as
you
know,
assuring
cars
on
double
parking
making
sure
people
aren't
loitering.
P
What
is
your
plan
for
actually
enforcing
that?
Because
people
tell
us
as
police
officers
to
go
pound
saying
when
we
tell
them
to
move
their
car?
So
how
are
you
expecting
to
tell
people
hey?
You
can't
stand
here?
Hey!
There's
too
many
people
here,
hey
this
crowd's
coming
by
hey.
Please
move
your
car.
What
is
your
plan
for
that?.
E
No
thank
you
Sergeant.
You
know
this
is
one
of
the
reasons
we've
reached
out
and
asked
to
have.
You
know
a
one-on-one
meeting
with
Emerson
a
few
times
and
you
know.
Obviously
we
were
asked
by
the
mayor's
office
to
reschedule
this
to
allow
for
the
new
president
to
come
in
and
get
brought
up
to
speed.
E
So
I
know,
we've
reached
out
again
asking
to
meet
and
have
this
conversation
in
a
more
productive
fashion,
and
we
do
hope
that
we
can
get
that
on
the
books
sooner
rather
than
later,
but
again
no
we're
not
law
enforcement.
We
completely
understand
that
and
that's
what
goes
back
to
the
Good
Neighbor
agreement
and
banning
customers
right.
We
you're
you're,
absolutely
correct.
We
cannot
prevent
someone
from
pulling
up.
We
can't
force
them
to
move.
E
We
can
ban
them
from
our
store
and
we
can
ban
them
from
our
store
if
they're
loitering,
we
can
ban
them
from
our
store.
For
any
reason
we
would
like
to-
and
you
know,
I
think
when
you
look
at
these
establishments
that
have
opened
and
operated
now
throughout
the
city,
you're,
not
seeing
the
parade
of
horribles.
You
know
I
think
it
speaks
to
the
fact
that
these
are
well-regulated
establishments,
that
not
only
did
the
city
of
Boston
stop
taking
the
three
percent
Community
impact
fee.
E
They
actually
gave
back
all
of
the
money
to
the
establishments
that
are
operational
because
there
was
no
impact
other
than
what
a
normal
retail
establishment,
a
normal
retail
establishment
would
would
create.
So
we're
absolutely
we're
here
to
to
talk
through
it
talk
about
what
policies
and
procedures
we
have
in
place
again,
we
know
not.
Everybody
is
supportive
of
this.
We
know
not
everyone's
going
to
be
supportive
of
cannabis
on
the
whole
or
or
this
location,
I
think
we've
detailed.
Why
we
think
this
is
a
good.
You
know
a
good
fit.
E
D
P
E
No,
so
we
have
security
staff,
but
the
CCC
and
the
BCB
are
very
clear.
They
do
not
want
to
see
armed
security.
That
is
not
something
that
we're
looking
for.
Unlike
a
restaurant
or
a
bar,
where
you're
closing
hour
in
this,
in
this
case
we're
proposing
a
9
pm
closing
hour
with
a
restaurant
or
a
bar,
where
you
have
that
half
hour
to
an
hour
where
patrons
kind
of
finish
up
their
business
and
leave.
E
P
Well,
I'm
I'm
more
concerned
about
when
is
actual
deliveries
being
made.
Would
that
be
in
morning
what
what
hours,
how
many
people
are
doing
the
deliveries
or
you
know,
there's
some
sort
of
security
presence
during
deliveries,
we
do
have
some
yeah
there's.
Other
people
have
mentioned
regular
transients
in
the
area
that
will
not
necessarily
even
trying
to
necessarily
take
your
product
or
steal
your
product,
but
will
get
in
your
face
just
because
you're
there
at
a
certain
time
of
day.
E
At
absolutely
so,
under
the
ccc's
regulations,
all
deliveries
are
randomized
and
they're
within
certain
hours
and,
in
addition
to
them
being
randomized
the
vehicles
in
terms
of
delivering
product,
but
also
picking
up
cash.
There
are
very
strict
regulations
about
being
cameraed.
Having
secured
vaults,
we're
happy
to
kind
of
share,
I,
don't
I
know
not
probably
don't
want
to
go
into
all
those
details
right
now,
but
we're
happy
to
share
all
of
those
regulations
with
you
and
how
you
know
what
our
proposal
is
in
compliance
with
the
CCC
requirements.
E
I
Yes
hi,
so
many
things
have
been
said
today:
I'm
Peggy,
yings
and
I
am
the
vice
president
of
government.
Community
relations
at
Emerson,
College
and
I
want
to
say
how
proud
I
am
of
the
community
we
live
in
and
that
we
thrive
in
and
that
we
have
the
best
of
a
community,
probably
maybe
my
little
bias.
Of
course
I
am
in
the
in
the
entire
area.
I
We
have
three
historic
districts
right
around
us
you're
sitting
in
one
of
them
right
now,
and
that
is
the
piano
row
historic
district
and
this
building
happens
to
be
a
contributing
building
in
it.
In
case
you
don't
know,
Mass
historic
commission
signifies
this
building.
Boston
Landmark
has
a
significant
number
for
this
building.
So
just
so,
you
know
you're
sitting
in
the
Boston
Common
Garden
protection
area,
which
is
also
a
Boston
landmark.
I
So
just
to
sort
of
familiarize
you
folks
who
are
coming
into
an
area
that
all
these
folks
I
had
to
talk
about,
who
are
seasoned?
Who
are
residents
who
care
for
this
area
who
brought
it
back
from
the
adult
entertainment
District
that
you
notice
isn't
in
this,
but
it's
still
a
District.
We
have
4
000,
kids
and
they're
kids,
you
all
know
their
kids
they're,
a
targeted
audience
and
attorney
Flanagan
pointed
out
that
they
could
lose
all
their
Federal
funding.
If
they
were
caught,
they
would
lose
their
aid.
I
Is
there
any
kind
of
thought
about
that?
No,
of
course
not
it's
only
about
there.
We
have
to
have
a
balance.
We
have
to
do
this
and,
furthermore,
the
building
you're
putting
it
in
is
a
condominium
building.
You
heard
from
Raul:
do
you
know
that
their
condominium
documents
didn't
even
allow
a
package
store,
didn't
allow
a
restaurant
it's
in
their
condo
docs
now.
E
I
It's
about
what's
the
truth,
the
truth
is
that
building
was
was
stipulated
to
be
a
family-owned
building.
They
have
more
than
that
on
it
and
you
should
probably
read
their
condo
docs
if
you're
representing
the
owner
of
that
place,
also
I'm
very
I'm,
very
happy
that
Alex
spoke
on
what
it's
like.
When
you
go
in
and
out
on
Allen
on
Boylston
place,
there
are
people
sitting
on
benches
out
there.
There
are
children
in
a
daycare
in
the
transportation
Children's
Center
that
had
their
playground
outside
on
top
of
Boylston
place.
I
Those
are
five-year-olds.
Five-Year-Olds
I
spoke
to
the
director.
She's
writing
a
letter.
She
is
absolutely
stunned.
When
I
told
her
what
was
going
there,
she
said.
No,
nobody
would
ever
do
that.
I
think.
Maybe
if
you
put
that
high-end
shoe
store
and
would
all
be
happy,
everybody
loves
shoes.
So
that'd
be
great.
I
If
you
also
stated
in
bold
letters,
this
is
a
21
year
old
establishment.
So
there's
more
of
our
kids
than
was
mentioned
that
are
less
than
21..
How
do
you
not
see
this
as
your
targeted
audience?
I?
Think,
it's
very
dishonest
to
say
you
did
not
Target
dishonest.
This
this
population
for
this
area-
you
know
there
are
clubs
in
this
area
as
well.
I
I
Now
we've
turned
around
after
expending
nine
over
900
million
dollars
to
clean
up
an
area
and
have
every
other
person
follow
every
other
development.
Every
other
unit,
that's
on
Boylston
Street
get
built,
and
they
always
say
if
Emerson
College
didn't
move
here,
we
all
wouldn't
be
here.
They
took
the
biggest
risk
of
coming
down
to
this
area,
but
furthermore,
I
just
want
to
say
that
I'm
sure
Governor
Baker
didn't
expect
to
see
a
recreational
pot
shop
at
every
entrance
to
every
building.
I
You
step
out
of
that
dispensary
you
step
on
to
boils
in
place
you
step
to
the
right.
You
go
to
the
Emerson
apartment.
Building
you
step
to
the
left
four
feet:
you
go
into
their
dining
hall.
We
have
13
programs
coming
into
the
alley.
Coming
into
all
our
dorms
this
summer,
they're
handicapped
kids-
these
are
kids
who
are
volunteering
from
all
over
the
world
to
work.
In
Chinatown
we
have
the
seals
from
the
U.S
Navy.
I
We
have
13
programs
and
their
ages
12
to
19..
Now
we're
going
to
talk
semantics
that,
oh,
it's
not
educational,
the
majority
of
them
are
and
if
that's
going
to
be
a
semantic,
you
know
argument
that,
oh
well,
it's
not
K
through
12..
You
think
anybody's
going
to
come
back
to
this
area
to
go
to
summer
programs
when
they
have
a
recreation
pot
shop
right
there,
Optics
tours
parents,
the
woman
on
Marlborough,
Street
I.
Have
nothing
against
I.
I
G
Appreciate
your
comments
and
I
think
for
clarification.
Governor
Baker
didn't
expect
anything.
This
was
a
ballot
initiative
that
was
passed
by
the
citizens,
and
so
the
legislature
was
forced
to
deal
with
the
issue
and
the
Cannabis
commission
was
created
to
ensure
that
the
voter
initiative
was
implemented
in
the
state.
I
appreciate
your
comments
and
your
concerns.
I
I,
totally
understand
where
you're
coming
from
I,
don't
think
it's
as
confrontational
as
it's
coming
off
to
be.
G
E
I
O
I
N
N
To
say
that
I
sorry
I
I
have
to
say
that
you
know
we
lock
our
car,
we
lock
our
houses
right,
it's
it's
making
things
difficult
for
someone
who's
trying
to
break
in
or
a
thief
to
take
away
the
car
right.
So
I
I
feel
like
saying
that
the
the
youth
and
the
kids
are
going
to
get
odd
regardless
I
think
it's
a
losing
argument
right
so
putting
smack
in
the
middle
of
four
thousand
five
thousand
students
and
making
it
easily
accessible
to
them.
N
O
Well,
I
got
cut
off
but
yeah
I'm,
sorry,
so
no
I
mean
they're,
okay,
maybe
I
shouldn't
say
abandon
but
they're
quite
unattractive.
You
know,
I
walk
down
there,
actually
all
the
time,
and
there
are
plenty
of
storefronts
that
almost
are
never
open,
I'm,
not
really
sure.
Even
what
these
businesses
are
I'm,
not
sure
you.
I
I
Me
it's
not
true,
I'm
telling
you
honestly
I'm
not
trying
to
be
weird
about
this
I'm
trying
to
tell
you
every
one
of
the
commercial
spaces
on
that
street
are
occupied,
except
for
this
honestly
I.
Don't
we're
all
the
way
down
to
boloco
every
every
every
one
of
them
are
occupied
Maggie,
just
I'm
telling
you
there's
not
an
empty
space
among
them.
O
Black
in
the
window,
I
just
conducted
myself
as
okay.
This
is
an
open
meeting.
First
of
all,
so
please
let
me
make
my
comment.
Okay,
you
you've
been
interrupting.
There
I
actually
did
correct
what
I
was
saying.
I
was
saying
they
aren't
necessarily
empty,
but
there
are
some
that
I
notice
that
are
almost
never
open.
There
is
a
I,
don't
even
know
what
you
would
call
it
I
guess
to
use
good
store
or
there's
a
lot
of
like
records
and
things
in
the
windows.
I
almost
never
see
it.
O
Open
I'm
always
wondering
what
it
is.
There's
there's
actually
right
across
that
Alleyway
from
beloco
I.
Don't
ever
see
anybody
going
in
and
out
of
those
buildings.
Maybe
there
are
businesses
in
there
that
just
aren't
that
aren't
I,
guess
publicized
or
like
I
haven't
or
like
they're,
very
they're
dark
a
lot
of
the
time.
But
that's
my
point
then,
on
the
others.
O
On
the
other
side,
past
the
Starbucks,
as
you
go
down
nail
store
as
I
said,
there's
some
bizarre
strange
businesses
that
quite
honestly
have
way
more
unappealing
and
unattractive
Goods
that
they're
selling
I
would
say
then
than
what
these
Cannabis
stores
are.
Looking
like
and
I
I
also
don't
mean
to
be
rude
to
anybody
else
in
the
meeting,
but
if
anybody
has
ever
stepped
into
a
cannabis,
dispensary
I
just
would
be.
O
I
would
just
be
curious
if
the
people
who
are
against
us
have
ever
stepped
in
it,
because
they're
highly
regulated
and
there's
almost
minimal
signage
on
the
outside
I.
Just
don't
see
how
the
I,
just
don't
I
I
disagree
with
it
being
a
very
attractive
storefront
to
significantly
change
the
feel
of
the
neighborhood
and
if
anything,
the
tax
dollars
that
are
going
to
come
out
of
this
could
be
refundled
back
into
helping
the
actual
issues
cleaning
up
the
common.
You
know
you
know
helping
the
homeless
population
helping
the
drug
addiction
population.
O
These
are
issues
that
Boston
has
to
deal
with
and,
quite
honestly
a
what
is
now
a
legalized
drug
there's
no
way
of
getting
around
it.
Like
that's
a
moot
point,
it's
legalized!
This
is
what
it
is
it
if
anything,
let's
use
it
to
good
use,
let's
get
tax
dollars
off
of
it,
funnel
it
back
into
the
city
into
the
city.
To
do
good.
Thank.
K
Can
I
ask
you
to
ask
Maggie
a
question
because
I
used
to
live
on
Marble
Street
too
so
I
mean
Maggie.
No
one's
really
saying
that,
like
this
is
a
business
we
we
get
it
when
nobody
wants
to
hurt
the
business.
All
we're
saying
is
that
it's
not
the
right
location
so
I
mean.
Would
you
put
up
a
dispensary
next
to
you
on
your
street?
K
I
bet
you,
your
neighbors
would
say:
no,
it's
not
that
it
would
be
more
of
hey,
I'm
gonna,
go
to
the
mall
or
I'm
going
to
go
somewhere
else,
and
you
have
to
read
the
room
so
because
you
don't
live
on
the
street,
you
have
to
read
the
room.
The
room
is
historic
and
it's
a
residential
area.
The
people
are
are
stating
that,
because
we're
residents-
because
we
have
kids-
you
don't
have
kids,
we
have
kids
because
we
have
kids
we're
just
saying
hey.
We.
We
wish
you
guys.
K
E
Sure
and
I'm,
just
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
I'm,
just
going
to
jump
in
here,
we're
not
looking
for
this
to
be
people
attacking
each
other.
This
is
a
meeting
where
we're
presenting
we're
here
to
answer
questions
we're
here
to
solicit
feedback.
I,
really
don't
want
to
see
you
know
and
I
defer
to
to
chew
in
his
office,
but
I
don't
want
to
see
people
just
attacking
each
other
over
a
presentation
that
we're
making
so
we're
here
to
answer
any
questions
but
I
just
hope.
We
can
kind
of
keep
the
tone
above
board.
