Okay,
when
I
was
little,
we
lived
upstairs
in
town
yeah,
my
grandmother,
my
mother's
mother,
lived
in
the
first
floor
and
one
day
I
was
horribly
sick.
I
was
like
nine
to
ten
years
old
and
she
gave
me
a
glass
of
blackberry
brandy
and
I
went
upstairs
and
of
course
I
fell
asleep
for
like
14
hours
and
when.

Two
members
have
several
years
of
experience
and
safely
equitably
effectively
implementing
and
administering
the
laws
enabling
access
to
adult
use.
Marijuana
in
the
commonwealth,
several
members
have
provided
consulting
service
to
various
vertically
integrated
players
in
massachusetts,
and
we've
also
helped
execute
over
80
host
community
agreements
in
massachusetts
to
date.
This
is
why
our
team
is
great.
Our
collective
experience
helps
overcome
the
barriers
that
people
of
color
face
in
the
industry,
allowing
us
to
give
back.
F
Our
team
members
are
local
to
the
city
and
state
our
roots
are
here
and
we
are
dedicated
to
community
building
and
are
passionate
about
helping
others
at
stone's
throw
cannabis.
We
plan
to
offer
safe
access
and
safe
lab
tested
products,
as
well
as
offer
a
personalized
experience
for
each
one
of
our
customers.
F
G
Thank
you.
Desi
we've
set
the
store
up
to
be
as
efficient
as
possible
for
a
number
of
reasons.
Customers
will
enter
through
the
beach
street
entrance.
There's
their
ids
will
be
checked
when
they
come
in
handy
then,
before
they
proceed
up
to
the
main
sales
floor,
which
you
can
see.
There's
four
stairs
for
handicapped
folks.
We
have
chair,
lift
that
can
allow
people
with
wheelchair
or
other
disabilities
to
get
straight
up.
G
We
have
10
checkout
stations,
customers
will
proceed
right
to
one
of
those
stations,
they'll
be
assisted,
and
then
they
head
out
the
door
onto
atlantic
avenue
in
the
event
that
we
have
more
customers,
then
we
have
checkout
stations.
The
circle
on
the
image
in
front
of
you
is
where
we'll
have
stanchions
and
we
can
have
folks
queued
inside
the
store,
rather
than
waiting
on
the
street
and
I'll
pass
it
back
to
desi
now.
Thank
you.
F
So
this
is
some
of
the
zoning
around
our
proposed
location.
The
map
to
the
left
shows
that
there
are
no
schools
within
500
feet
of
this
location.
The
map
to
the
right
shows
another
dispensary
within
half
a
mile,
and
that
is
21
milk
street.
Although
we
are
within
the
buffer
of
the
milk
street
dispensary,
our
proposed
location
can
qualify
to
sit
within
a
buffer
due
to
the
density
in
the
area.
F
F
F
D
Excuse
me
sorry
about
that.
Eric
lawrence,
I'm
a
co-owner
of
stone's
throw
cannabis,
bear
with
me
because
I'm
suffering
from
a
cold
this
evening.
Well,
I'm
going
to
talk
about
operations
this
evening.
First
off
security,
the
cannabis
control
commission
has
set
strict
regulations
regarding
the
safety
and
security
of
cannabis
establishments,
we're
going
to
follow
the
stage
regulations
to
ensure
that
we're
providing
a
safe,
secure
access
to
canvas
products.
D
D
All
of
our
associates
will
undergo
an
extensive
background
check
and
to
complete
the
state
required
registered
agent
training.
We
will
have
a
limited
access,
vault
area
and
yeah.
Sorry
excuse
me
next
slide.
Please
diversion
prevention
of
utmost
importance
to
stone
through
cannabis
that
we
prevent
our
products
from
getting
into
the
hands
of
miners.
D
D
Any
invalid
ids
will
not
be
allowed
into
the
facility,
and
we
utilize
the
seed
to
sales
system
that
the
state
has
implemented
in
the
event
that
products
do
get
into
the
hands
of
miners
will
be
able
to
track
back
and
determine
who
purchased
those
products
next
slide.
Please
nuisance
prevention,
our
goal
that
stones
throw
cannabis,
is
to
be
a
good
neighbor
and
have
a
positive
impact
on
the
community.
D
F
F
F
F
F
Our
friendly
neighbor
agreement
is
an
actionable
plan
designed
to
mitigate
community
concerns.
We
can
enforce
the
friendly
neighbor
agreement
through
added
security
cameras,
smart
security
company,
which
we've
hired
and
ongoing
community
engagement
with
neighborhood
groups
and
through
employee
training.
F
And
I'm
happy
to
go
on
to
community
benefits.
Thank
you
as
it
pertains
to
community
benefits.
We
have
committed
to
the
following
amendments.
In
our
proposal
after
meeting
with
the
community
several
times
and
listening
to
concerns
about
crime,
we
wanted
to
include
three
additional
cameras
in
the
exterior
of
the
building
as
crime
deterrent
and
as
extra
surveillance
accessible
by
bpd
boston,
police
department,
stone
stroll
will
also
promote
other
local
businesses
and
restaurants
in
the
area,
bring
jobs
into
the
community
and
contribute
to
groups
working
within
the
leather
district.
F
F
F
F
We
believe
this
camera
will
help
us
enforce
our
friendly
neighbor
agreement
as
well
as
ensure
that
none
of
our
patrons
are
loitering
outside
of
717
atlantic
avenue
and
the
middle
camera,
which
you
see
there
will
have
coverage
directly
across
the
south
station.
We
believe
that
having
more
surveillance
in
the
community
may
help
reduce
and
solve
crimes.
F
These
are
the
steps
we
must
take
and
have
already
taken.
We
began
a
community
outreach
in
december
of
2021
have
held
preview
a
few
abutters
meeting
in
january
and
march,
and
we
filed
with
isd
in
february
after
today's
meeting.
If
we
are
lucky,
we
will
go
in
front
of
the
boston
cannabis
board
to
then
go
on
to
the
zoning
board
of
appeals.
F
B
So
this
is
the
open
comment
period,
meaning
that,
if
you
do
not
get
called
on
tonight
or
if
you
think
of
questions
that
have
not
been
answered,
all
you
need
to
do
is
reach
out
to
either
myself
or
the
applicant,
and
I
will
work
with
you
to
get
that
information.
My
contact
information
has
been
included
on
the
flyer
you
received
prior
to
attending
this
meeting.
B
F
F
F
J
Yeah
myself,
jerry,
smart
and
my
partner
joseph
harris,
I
think,
between
the
two
of
us.
We
have
about
60
years
of
experience
in
the
police
department
and
I
think,
over
my
last
10
years
in
the
department
I've
been
in
community
service,
so
I'm
very
sensitive
to
the
community
needs
I've
attended,
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
meetings,
and
so
I
I
tend
to
lean
on
the
side
of
the
community.
J
At
least
everybody
that
comes
in
has
to
sign
in
some
sort,
and
if
this
person
is
fine
found
out
to
be
one
of
the
double
parkers
one
of
the
people
smoking
outside,
they
won't
be
invited
back
and
we'll
be
able
to
help
them
with
this
process.
The
security
is
good.
The
lighting,
the
the
street
views
are
excellent
and
our
relationship
with
the
police
department,
local
police
department,
open
area
a
would
help
us
liaise
better.
We
know
how
they
work,
and
I
think
that
that
entity
would
would
be
perfect
for
this
area.
F
Thank
you
jerry.
Additionally,
we
will
be
training
our
employees,
so
if
there's
an
employee
who's
out
on
break
or
leaving
work-
and
they
see
someone
who's
was
in
the
store
15
minutes
ago
and
they're
further
down
the
street.
Where
our
cameras
don't
have
coverage,
they
are
required
to
report
the
incident
as
well.
We
will
be
maintaining
our
relationship
with
the
community
and
going
to
community
meetings.
If
things
arise,
we
we
plan
to
address
them
and
and
engage.
You
know,
continue
the
engagement
with
the
community
to
ensure
that
these
things
aren't
happening.
F
Thank
you
chris,
so
we,
you
know,
we
plan
to
also
include
no
double
parking
on
our
at
with
in
our
friendly
neighbor
agreement
contract.
Every
patron
must
sign
this.
We
won't
allow
people
to
double
park
as
far
as
we
can
see
if
they're
on
atlantic
avenue,
we
have
that
additional
camera
that
will
give
us
coverage
as
well.
Jerry
and
the
smart
security
company
will
also
help
keep
people
from
double
parking
either
on
atlantic
or
on
beach
street.
F
We're
really
not
expecting
a
lot
of
customers
to
drive
in
most
people,
don't
drive
in
to
downtown,
for
you
know,
just
to
visit
a
convenience
store
or
a
liquor
store
and
we're
not
expecting
that
to
happen
with
cannabis.
There
are
currently
11
stores
open
already
in
the
city
of
boston
and
we're
not
seeing
high
amounts
of
traffic
or
lines
out
the
door.
So
that's
not
something
we're
expecting,
but
we
do
have
the
contingency
plan
in
place
because
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
being
friendly,
neighbors.
B
F
F
I
want
to
say
that
maybe
milk
street
is
not
or
french
street
is
not
you
know,
but
what
we're
seeing
with
with
the
host
community
approvals,
52
host
community
agreements
have
already
been
approved
by
the
boston
cannabis
board.
Only
11
are
operating
and
most
of
these
are
in
neighborhoods,
with
mixed
use
with
both
residential
and
businesses.
I
F
Sure
so
there
are,
there
is
actually
a
dispensary
open
on
albany
street
in
the
south
end
they
actually
are
in
between
two
residential
buildings.
That's
one
example:
we
have
two
dispensaries
that
are
open
in
east
boston.
One
of
them
is
on
meridian
street,
with
many
businesses
next
to
them,
as
well
as
residential
on
top.
I
F
Well,
right
now
there
are
52
host
community
agreements
across
the
city,
meaning
52
retail
stores
have
been
approved.
Only
11
of
them
are
open.
Once
52
stores
are
open,
each
neighborhood
will
have
two
or
three
in
their
neighborhood.
So
currently
there
there
there
aren't
any,
but
they
are
opening
as
time
rolls
by.
B
K
F
F
So
this
specific
approval
is
unique
in
the
sense
that
the
structure
and
the
the
the
purpose
of
this
company
is
to
allow
social
equity
applicants
like
myself
and
and
my
colleagues
to
to
enter
the
cannabis
industry,
gain
experience,
gain
capital
and
then
be
able
to
open
our
own
stores,
so
at
stone's
throw
cannabis.
There
are
10
owners,
we,
you
know,
we
all
have
control
over
the
company
and
it's
it's
a
collective
and
we'll
be
working
together.
F
H
Good
evening,
everyone,
I'm
blake
mensing,
the
the
ceo
and
the
structure
was
from
my
experience
as
a
cannabis
attorney,
essentially
the
barriers
that
folks
faced
made
it
so
that
the
state
statutory
goals
were
restored
as
social
justice
weren't
being
met,
the
numbers
in
terms
of
who
owns
cannabis.
Businesses
in
this
state
are
not
representative
of
our
cross-section
of
the
population
and
ultimately,
we
structured
it
in
a
way.
So
our
six
social
equity
partners
have
below
the
equity
percentage
that
the
commission
counts
against.
H
How
many
licenses
they
may
own
collectively
they're
the
majority
owners
and
the
goal
behind
that
is
again
to
give
them
the
flexibility
for
their
next
project.
Wherever
else
they
might
go
so
in
in
pitching
to
an
investor
or
municipality
they'll,
be
able
to
say,
I've
run
a
store
I've
made,
you
know
I'm
bringing
money
to
the
table
that
I've
earned
from
the
store,
and
it's
really
just
a
way
to
sort
of
try
to
make
up
some
of
that
gap,
and
I
recently
presented
this
corporate
structure
at
a
cannabis
convention.
H
My
sincere
goal
is
that
people
copy
the
structure,
it's
helping,
six
people
instead
of
one-
and
we
have
you,
know
a
democratically
run
organization,
whereas
a
lot
of
the
bigger
operators
will
come
in
and
say
great
you've
got
that
certificate.
You
know,
take
take
the
money
and
sit
in
the
corner
and
don't
do
anything.
That
is
the
exact
opposite
of
what
we
want
to
do.
The
the
buy-in
from
everyone
in
in
our
team
is
their.
You
know,
sweat,
equity
and
their
varied
and
diverse
backgrounds
in
terms
of
professional
experiences.
F
And
just
to
come
complete
the
answer,
george,
I
will
be
at
stone
central
cannabis.
I
will
be
running
the
community
liaison
part
of
the
aspect
of
the
business.
I
will
also
be
a
manager
with
james
finney.
My
experience
is
around
customer
service.
The
food
industry
and
community
outreach.
I've
had,
I
have
10
years
of
experience,
doing
community
work
in
the
city
of
boston,
and
you
know
my
diverse
skill
set
definitely
applies
to
to
this
industry.
F
L
Hi,
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
and
comments.
One
comment
to
start
with:
when
you
list
the
parking
garages
in
the
neighborhood,
I
would
like
to
point
out
that
84
beach
street
has
been
closed
for
at
least
a
year
and
a
half.
I
do
encourage
you
to
familiarize
yourself
with
our
neighborhood
again.
A
lot
of
those
parking
garages
are
not
really
available,
they're,
not
open
the
same
hours
that
you're
open,
so
you
might
want
to
do
some
more
research
on
that.
Also.
L
As
far
as
your
camera
coverage
you've
mentioned,
adding
cameras.
How
is
the
view
from
those
cameras
going
to
be
different
from
the
from
the
view
of
the
security
guard
that
I
believe
you're
required
to
have
in
front
of
the
building,
meaning
that
the
camera
coverage
really
isn't
going
to
show
that
much
of
the
neighborhood
any
more
than
what
you
are
required
to
to
show
and
then
finally,
you
started
by
talking
a
lot
about
giving
back
and
betterment
of
the
community.
L
Before
that,
the
camera
coverage
that,
if,
if
I'm
correct,
I
believe
that
you
are
required
to
have
security
stationed
inside
the
facility
and
outside
that
at
least,
would
align
with
what's
happening
on
milk
street,
and
so,
if
you
have
a
security
guard
posted
outside,
how
would
that
person
not
see
exactly
the
same
that
you're
seeing
on
the
camera?
So
therefore
you're
not
really
picking
up
anything
new
to
help
out
residents.
L
F
Yes
and
no,
the
camera
would
also
face
down
beach
street.
Our
security
guard
cannot
be
in
three
or
four
different
places
at
once,
so
the
camera
coverage
is
designed
to
ensure
that
our
patrons
are.
You
know
following
the
rules
and
they're
also
designed
to
be
there
in
case
something
happens
while
we're
not
open.
If
something
happens
in
the
middle
of
the
night
right
in
front
of
717
or
down
beach
street
and
our
camera
coverage
covers
it,
the
boston
police
department
will
have
access
to
that.
F
F
Mean
yep
as
far
as
community
benefits
we've
met
with
the
community
of
various
times.
You
know,
they've
expressed
the
crime
in
the
area,
the
loitering
the
people
hanging
out,
and
so
this
is
a
way
that
you
know
we
can.
We
can
contribute
to
to
the
community
and
and
and
that
corner
of
of
the
building.
Also.
L
F
Catherine
right
now
there
have
there
have
not
been
any
violations
at
the
boston
cannabis
board
for
cannabis
dispensaries.
So
you
know
we
haven't
seen
the
loitering,
the
littering
the
public
consumption
or
the
double
parking
or
the
you
know
immense
traffic
or
immense
lines
that
a
lot
of
residents
are
are
worried
about
that.
It's
just
we're
not
seeing
that
the
cannabis
board
can.
You
know,
can
also
verify
this.
H
So
the
security
guard
is
intended
to
be
an
olive
branch
of
the
community
to
say:
look,
we
have
a
friendly
neighborhood
agreement
that
enforcement
will
be
through
smart
security,
and
the
additional
camera
coverage,
as
desi
said,
will
allow
us
to
communicate
and
share
with
the
police
department
to
try
to
clean
up
clean
up
instances
of
loitering
littering
public
consumption
and
like
any
private
business.
If
someone
doesn't
follow
our
rules
that
we're
setting,
which
again
are
above
and
beyond
what
the
state
requires,
we
will
say
you
can't
shop
here.
F
Yeah-
and
I
mean
I'll
add
on
to
that
I'll
say
that
you
know
we
have
10
members
of
of
our
team.
We
have
plenty
of
hands
to
to
help
with
the
betterment
of
the
leather
district,
whether
it's
cleaning
up
or
attending
meetings,
whatever
needs
to
be
done
in
the
community.
We,
you
know
we
have
a
commitment
to
to
maintain
a
relationship
as
long
as
the
neighborhood
groups
want
us,
there
will
will
be
there
and
and
will
help
in
whatever
way
we
can.
We
know
the
leather
district
has
been
left
out.
F
Of
of
you
know
the
bpda
and-
and
we've
heard
a
lot
of,
we've
heard
a
lot
of
these
issues
that
have
been
going
on
through
attending
community
meetings
and
so
we're
willing
to
help
in
whatever
way
we
can
we're
we're
offering
these
benefits,
but
we
are
more
than
happy
to
go
back
to
the
table
and
and
and
offer
something
that
your
community
needs.
It's
not
up
to
me
to
to
tell
the
leather
district
what
they
need.
You
know,
that's
why
we
are
engaging
with
you
all.
F
That's
why
we've
tried
to
have
as
many
community
meetings
as
possible.
We
want
to
hear
your
feedback
and
we
want
to
be.
We
want
to
be
given
an
opportunity
to
to
help
create
community
benefits,
but
if,
if
we're
not
if
we're
not
receiving
feedback
as
to
what
the
community
needs,
it's
really
hard
to
to
do
that.
So
I
mean
I
would
encourage
you
to
share
a
little
bit
more
about.
You
know
what
you
feel
the
community
needs
and
we're
more
than
happy
to
help
with
that.
I
So
definitely
I
don't
think
we
need
a
more
camera
because
we
can
afford
the
camera.
We
don't
need
your
activity,
your
business,
to
provide
us
with
more
cameras
to
monitor
the
leather
district.
So
I
whatever-
and
I
fully
agree
with
country
and
what
she
shared-
I
don't
see
any,
but
really
at
all
benefit
for
our
community
in
the
leather
district.
I
To
have
this
store
here-
and
I
rather
see
that
you
are
amplifying
all
our
program
that
we
have
at
the
moment
the
parking
I
mean
you
say
you
are
not
going
to
allow
people
double
street
parking.
I
tell
you
that
this
is
the
routine
here
being
next
to
some
station,
where
every
day
between
uber
and
lyft
people
pick
up.
We
already
have
this
a
problem,
so
the
parking
and
the
traffic
is
terrible.
I
We
already
know
that
there
are
so
many
problems
with
the
substance,
abuser
and
distribution
around,
and
you
did
even
mention
how
this
can
even
amplify
the
problem
of
a
drug
addiction
in
the
neighborhood.
So,
in
my
opinion,
you
are
just
bringing
additional
problems
to
our
current
situation
and
the
camera
is
another
solution.
When
you
say
what
do
we
need
for
the
neighborhood,
maybe
an
art
gallery,
I
I
don't
know
that's.
I
see
how
improvement
of
our
neighborhood
image
and
I
don't
envision
a
dispensary
to
improve
the
neighborhood
situation.
I
B
Desiree
before
you
continue,
I
just
want
to
make
comment
antonella,
please.
Please
do
wait
until
you
get
called
on
before
you
make
comments,
because
there
there
is
a
line,
so
I
just
want
to
keep
this
order.
I
just
want
to
keep
this
meeting
orderly.
So
please
again
just
wait
until
you
get
called
on
before
you
make
comments.
B
N
Walter
yeah
I'm
a
resident
at
my
wife
and
residence
at
717
atlantic
ave,
which
is
the
building
right
next
to
this.
This
proposed
location.
I'm
very
opposed
to
this.
I've
put
my
my
reasons
in
the
chat.
I
think
it'll
it'll
be
a
nuisance
and
change
the
nature
of
the
area.
So
I've,
given
all
my
my
reasons
in
there,
but
I
would
like
to
say
that
I
know
that
717
and
in
beach
street
it's
across
from
a
train
station,
it's
across
from
south
station.
So
you
might
think.
N
N
So
so
it
changes
the
nature
of
this
even
on
weekends
sunday
morning,
so
it
it
totally
changes
the
nature
of
the
neighborhood.
And
it's
it's
remarkable
that
that
this
company,
this
proposal,
with
with
everything
that
they
say,
can't
find
a
location
that
isn't
next
to
where
people
live
directly
residential.
F
Sure
I
mean
you
know
as
far
as
having
a
residential
building
next
to
our
location.
As
I,
as
I
already
mentioned,
52
host
community
agreements
have
been
approved.
Each
neighborhood
will
have
three
or
four
dispensaries,
which
means
that
you
know
these
dispensaries
will
be
more
of
a
convenience.
People
will
come
in
who
live
in
the
neighborhood,
we're
not
expecting
people
coming
in
from
dedham
or
revere
or
other
parts
of
the
city
to
to
this
store.
N
Well,
I
you
know,
I
I
don't
want
to
engage
in
anything
because
there's
there's
no
circumstances
where
I
I
want
a
retail
business
like
this
there
and
I
don't
think
some
people
on
beach
street
there's
there's
some
people
that
seem
to
want
it.
I'm
not
sure
why
what's
in
it,
what's
in
it
for
them,
but
this
is
a
very
large
city
and
you
should
be
able
to
find
other
locations
that
are
that
have
no
contra
that
are
not
controversial.
O
O
O
But
you
know
I'm
here
in
new
york
and
can't
it's
so
funny
to
see
how
people
are
welcoming
cannabis
on
the
streets.
Everyone
is
so
excited
about
it
so
happy
and
they're,
so
supportive
of
it
and
then
boston
has
got
a
tendency
to
just
kind
of
really
attack
people
with
new
ideas
and
new
things
that
they're
afraid
of,
and
they
don't
understand
and
really
bums
me
out,
because
I've
seen
how
well
cannabis
works
with
communities
and
neighborhoods.
O
Where
you
have
dispensaries
open
up
and
everyone's
nervous
there's
going
to
be
big
lines
and
traffic
and
crime
where,
in
fact,
if
you
look
at
all
the
statistics
anywhere,
there's
been
a
dispensary.
Not
only
has
crime
gone
down,
property
values
have
increased
and
you're,
not
having
big
lines
in
traffic
south
station.
I
took
the
green
line
into
town.
I
I
didn't
drive,
we
don't
drive
there.
I
don't
know
if
anyone
knows
this,
but
boston
is
one
of
the
worst
cities
for
traffic.
O
These
people
are
looking
for
foot
traffic
they're
not
looking
to
bring
people
in,
and
cars
in,
boston
is
terrible
for
traffic
cannabis
people,
people
going
to
a
store
in
that
location
to
be
traveling
by
train
they're,
taking
public
transportation
they're
not
going
to
bring
traffic
there
and
it
brings
a
lot
to
the
community.
My
last
thing
I
want
to
say
about
it:
real
fast
is
the
team
and
the
opportunity,
the
team
of
people
involved
to
have
10
social
equity
applicants
coming
in
to
start
a
business.
O
This
is
a
model
that
people
dream
about
you're,
giving
an
opportunity
to
a
group
of
people.
Who've
been
left
out
by
on
a
future
industry
that
was
created
on
the
backs
of
people
that
were
put
in
jail
in
prison
for
cannabis
and
they're
being
kept
out
of
this
industry.
Now,
I'm
not
saying
the
people
on
this
fall
have
been
put
in
prison,
but
I'm
saying
they're
from
communities
that
have
been
marginalized
and
left
out
of
chances
and
opportunities
to
make
generational
money
all
the
other
businesses
in
boston.
O
These
other
dispensaries
that
are
popping
up
around
the
area
without
any
issues
are
created
by
billion
dollar
companies
or
old
old
money.
Like
wealth,
real
estate
funds,
hedge
funds,
venture
capital,
you
guys
are
seeing
you
guys-
are
seeing
an
opportunity
for
wealth
for
local
bostonians
and
people
and
people
who
are
deserve
this.
I
would
be
proud
to
have
this
team,
who
I
know
most
of
I
would
be
proud
to
have
these
people
opening
dispensary
in
my
neighborhood.
I
know
it's
scary
to
you,
but
it's
actually
good
for
the
community
creates
a
lot
of
opportunity.
O
B
B
E
H
Sure
I
can
handle
that,
so
I
will
be
the
compliance
officer
and
desi
and
james
finney
will
be.
You
know
our
initial
points
of
contact
and-
and
just
you
know,
to
clarify
again,
I'm
a
cannabis
attorney,
so
part
of
my
job
is
helping.
People
follow
the
rules
and
one
of
that
one
of
those
components
is
found
in
935
cmr
500.110,
which
goes
into
extreme
granular
detail
on
how
a
a
company
like
this,
an
operation
like
this
has
to
run.
H
You
know,
abiding
by
standards
that
are
more
stringent
than
a
bank
or
a
pharmacy
has
to
abide
by
so
yeah.
We
will
be
the
points
of
contact.
I
believe
that
was
in
our
last
side
slide
my
contact
information
as
well
as
desi's
and
yeah.
That
will
be
our
ongoing
commitment
to
you
know
work
with
anyone
who
has
security
concerns
in
the
neighborhood.
A
Theo
larry,
I'm
outside
counsel,
to
the
the
folks
stone's
throw
are
very
rigid
rules
which
had
to
be
followed.
There
are
statutes
of
the
commonwealth
ordinances
of
the
city
of
boston
regulations
and
they
prescribe
and
blake
made
reference
to
only
one
of
them
exactly
how
you
have
to
proceed,
not
only
in
the
acquisition
of
product
sales,
security,
it's
spelled
out
and
we'll
follow
it
to
the
letter
of
law.
A
F
Thank
you,
dear
theodore,
yeah.
That
makes
complete
sense.
That's
actually
you
know
we
would
love
that.
My
hope
is
to
go
to
the
monthly
meetings
of
the
leather
district,
neighborhood
association,
the
chinatown
residents
association,
the
1ld
any
group
that
is
trying
to
better
the
community.
We,
you
know
we're
committed
to
working
with
them
to
to
do
our
part.
M
M
I
have
not
been
at
any
of
these
meetings
before
and
and
so
I
really
my
questions
are
really
at
a
more
at
a
procedural
level.
How
do
I
learn
more
about
the
group,
the
proposal,
the
written
proposal?
How
can
I
get
some
hard
copy
information
about
what
you're
trying
to
do
number
one
and
number
two?
How
do
meetings
like
this
play
into
the
decision-making
process
at
the
city
level?
M
F
Thank
you
larry
we're
more
than
happy
to
send
over
our
presentation
and
and
get
on
a
call
or
a
zoom
with
you
to
go
over
our
proposal
and
as
far
as
opportunities
for
the
community
to
engage
regarding
our
proposal.
We
do
we.
We
are
scheduled
to
go
in
front
of
the
boston
cannabis
board.
We
haven't.
We
we
haven't
been
on,
haven't
gotten
on
the
agenda
yet,
but
we
hope
to
get
on
the
agenda
in
june,
at
which
point
they
will
open
it
up
for
public
testimony.
F
M
M
F
F
P
P
F
Thank
you,
alan
and
I'll
I'll.
Just
add
one
more
thing.
On
top
of
that
comment,
you
know
there
are
there's
a
very
long
list
of
multi-state
operators
that
are
dying
to
come
into
the
city,
they're,
not
concerned
with
residents
they're,
not
concerned
with
communities
and
what
the
community
needs
are.
You
know
we're.
All
six
of
us
are
boston
residents
I
was
born
and
raised
in
the
south
ends
villa
victoria.
F
There
are
two
other
members
of
our
team
who
are
south
end
residents.
We
we
truly
care
about
this
neighborhood
and
every
neighborhood
in
the
city,
and
so
you
know
that's
a
difference.
That's
for.
For
me.
I
see
that
also,
as
a
community
benefit
having
someone
that
is
from
the
city
that
understands
the
adversities
of
the
cities,
the
the
the
its
virtues
and,
and
that
is
willing
to
work
hard
to
maintain
or
or
elevate
the
quality
quality
of
life
in
in
in
the
city.
B
B
Q
All
right
no
worries.
I
just
want
to
go
on
the
record
to
say
I
support
fully
support
people
and
grow.
I
think
they're,
the
first
collective
of
social
equity
applicants
banding
together.
I
think
it's
a
great
proposal
for
south
station,
particularly
there's
a
lot
of
foot
traffic
like
somebody
else
mentioned,
I
believe
wholeheartedly.
Q
We
provide
education
on
the
social
equity
program.
We
provide
free,
expungement
services
and
community
outreach
in
all
areas
of
disproportionate
impact,
all
over
massachusetts.
So
fully
sorry,
I
was
just
a
little
out
of
breath,
but
stone
throws
great.
I
want
to
go
on
record
for
my
support
and
big
hopefully
supports
them.
Thank
you.
Q
R
Yes,
susan
left's
computer,
this
is
her
husband
drew
up.
I
live
at
112
beach
street
in
the
leather
district,
about
a
block
from
this
site.
I
am,
I
am
not
opposed
to
the
group,
I'm
not
opposed
to
cannabis
stores.
We've
we've
used
a
couple
of
them
in
the
past,
so
I've
a
little
bit
of
experience
with
that.
R
But
what
I
am
concerned
about
are
two
issues
primarily
the
issue
of
traffic
right
at
that
particular
at
this
particular
location
and
the
impact
not
on
on
beach
street,
but
on
the
areas
behind
in
the
alleyways.
We
already,
let's
just
start
with
that
one
for
first
and
then
I'd
like
to
come
back
to
the
other
points
behind
our
building
there's
an
alley.
There's
an
alleyway
utica
street,
which
is
really
an
alley.
R
If
you
go
in
the
other
direction
down
to
neyland,
there
are
similar
situations
and
there's
we
already
have
a
problem
with
people
hanging
out
there
doing
drugs,
not
so
much
sitting
around
smoking,
cannabis
but
they're
doing
drugs.
I'm
just
a
little
bit
concerned
well
more,
I
would
say
more
than
a
little
bit
concerned
that
we'll
find
people
coming
out
of
the
store,
saying:
hey.
R
R
I'm
wondering
whether
there
should
be
camp
cameras
there,
I'd
like
to
know
actually
who's
actually
going
to
be
observing
that
and
what
are
they
going
to
do
about
it?
So
that's,
that's
one!
That's
a
security
issue.
Second
issue.
Second
point
is
you're
promising
the
the
neighborhood
friendly,
whatever
it's
called
a
program
and
that's
great,
but
once
you
get
your
license,
how
do
we
know
that
that
we
can
we
can
come
that
there
will
be
enforcement
of
it?
R
What
do
we
do
if
there
is
an
enforcement
of
it
we're
just
concerned
about?
What's
what
that
future
is?
So
that's
that's.
I
think
the
second
point
and
then
the
third
point
is
the
intersection
of
atlantic
avenue
and
beech
street
right
now
because
of
the
bus
station.
There
is
so
much
drop
off
there.
People
are
waiting
and
double
parking
already
they're,
not
doing
it
for
the
cannabis
store.
They're
doing
it
already,
I'm
concerned,
what's
going
to
go
on
beyond
that
that
we're
already
hitting
a
point
that
is
too
much
desire.
R
E
R
Anymore,
but
how
do
you
know
that
I
would,
if
you're
a
business
person
that
has
is
looking
at
your
market?
How
do
you
know
what
your
market
is,
and
who
do
you
really
expect?
Is
that
mark?
What
are
you
telling
your
financiers
is?
Is
the
market
for
this?
Where
are
they
coming
from?
Were
they
are
they
driving
or
not?
You
must
know
something
more
about
that,
so
I
appreciate
your
you're
talking
discussing
that
that
point
a
little
bit
further.
F
F
Sorry
trying
to
get
to
your
questions.
So
the
second
question
was:
how
do
you
ensure
that
you
know
we
follow
through
with
what
we're
promising
well
every
year
as
a
wheat
as
a
cannabis
retail
store,
we
have
to
go
in
front
of
the
boston
cannabis
board
if
we
were
to
open
next
year-
and
you
know
you
see
that
many
of
the
commitments
we've
made
have
not
we've
not
fallen
through
with
with
those
you
do,
have
the
ability
to
show
up
to
our
yearly
hearing
and
say
this
proposal.
F
Just
a
few
months
ago,
seed
in
jamaica,
plain
went
in
front
of
the
boston
cannabis
board
and,
and
you
know
that
commitment
was
was
released
because
what
they
found
out
was
that
50
of
their
customer
base
was
local,
and
so
they
didn't
need.
They
didn't
need
valet,
and
so
you
know
our.
We
take
our
commitments
seriously.
F
F
H
So
if
there's
a
laundry
list
of
complaints
or
someone
decided
to
sue
us
on
a
theory
of
nuisance,
there's
an
affirmative
obligation
to
tell
the
city
and
the
state,
and
that
could
be
a
factor
that
you
know
if
we
don't
do
what
we
say
or
there's.
There's
all
sorts
of
you
know,
issues
coming
up.
That
could
be
a
reason
to
deny
a
renewal.
A
A
Nothing's
happened
with
the
existing
cannabis
establishments.
There
have
been
no
disciplinary
actions,
no
police
reports.
I
think
that
probably
shows
the
maturity
of
the
industry.
It
also
shows
the
regulations
are
far
stricter
than
they
are
for
liquor
and
it's
a
license
and
if
you
mess
up,
you
lose
your
license.
You
have
zero.
A
So
that's
what
that's
that's
why
I
think
it's
been
so
effective
and
the
liquor
license.
Laws
go
back
to
1933
and
people
always
say
that
they're
going
to
abide
by
them
and
yet
there's
disciplinary
actions
every
thursday
up
there
at
city
hall,
and
that's
just
that's
just
a
fact,
and
I
worked
on
the
milk
street
license
we
had
a
traffic
study.
A
The
traffic
study
came
back
and
said
in
so
many
words.
Almost
nobody
will
drive
there
because
most
everyone
is
there
already,
and
people
can
walk.
People
can
take
public
transportation
and
there
will
be
people
who
will
drive.
No
doubt
about
it,
but
it's
going
to
be
de
minimis.
It's
not
going
to
be
big
numbers
and,
as
the
industry
has
expanded,
the
lines
phenomenon
that
you
had
at
nita
in
brookline,
village
and
other
places
has
disappeared
even
on.
A
S
Hello,
everyone.
I
have
two
properties
in
the
leather
district,
although
I
no
longer
live
there,
and
I
am
pretty
indifferent
about
the
cannabis
industry.
I've
been
involved
with
marijuana
entrepreneurial
cannabis,
entrepreneurial
ventures,
I've
put
pen
to
paper
to
work
on
legislation,
around
quality
standards
and
testing,
so
very
familiar
for
those
who
may
want
to
preemptively
try
to
shut
down
any
comments
I
make.
I
think
the
con.
S
The
challenge
in
the
leather
district
is,
and
I'm
I'm
very
familiar
with
the
red,
the
the
legislation
or
the
regulations
that
I'm
sure
will
be
complied
with,
because
there's
a
huge
economic
incentive
for
the
owners
and
operators
to
comply.
So
I
think
I
would
take
that
as
a
given,
but
I
think
when
it
comes
to
you
know
the
neighborhood
and
the
broader
exposure
that
the
neighborhood
will
have
to
the
traffic
that
I
believe-
and
I
think
others
will
believe-
will
come
and
we've
seen
it
with
the
liquor
store.
S
But
they
eventually
say
we
can't
control
what
goes
on.
You
know,
half
a
block
up
the
street.
We
can't
have
our
security
teams
go
there
and
that's
the
reality.
I
think
the
people
in
the
leather
district
are
trying
to
express
here,
because
when
we
have
that
conversation
a
year,
two
three
and
inevitably
we
probably
will
we
know
you're
going
to
say
look:
we've
got
a
list
here
of
77
things
that
we've
needed
to
have
done
and
we've
invested
3.5
million
and
we've
done
them
all,
and
people
on
the
phone
are
going
to
be
like
yeah.
S
But
there's
still
this
happening
in
my
neighborhood
and
I've
got
pictures
to
demonstrate
it.
So
I
think
that's
kind
of
what
what
is
is
difficult,
I
think,
to
articulate
from
the
from
the
community.
But
that
is
the
reality
of
what
we've
seen
and
cannabis.
Obviously
it's
a
different
animal,
but
I
don't
think
we're
willing
to
believe
that
we
won't
see
those
things
and
there
won't
be
any
data
that
convinces
us
right,
because
I
mean
for
obvious
reasons.
S
F
Thank
you
gregory,
and
I
I
totally
understand
that.
I
think
I
think
what
we
want
to
express
is
that
we're
willing
to
work
with
the
community
to
help
with
these
pre-existing
issues.
These
are
issues
that
are
affecting
many
communities
and
in
the
city
of
boston
and-
and
I
think
that
you
know
I
went
to
a
few
meetings
in
the
leather
district
where
people
were
really
passionate
about.
R
B
Thank
you
gregory.
So
at
this
point
we
will
move
on
to
the
chat.
I
do
realize
that
there
are
a
couple
people
with
their
hands
still
raised,
but
they
have
already
spoken,
and
I
wanted
to
give
everyone
a
chance
to
have
their
questions
and
comments
answered
and
I'll
call
on
them
after
the
chat
is
read
through
so
I'll
start
with
steve
brothers,
he
asked.
B
Can
the
operating
team
please
talk
about
their
experience,
running
an
actual
cannabis
business
and
there's
a
second
question:
what
does
the
team
plan
to
do
to
help
the
leather
districts
and
number
three?
What
are
some
examples
of
success?
The
team
has
had
helping
neighborhoods
when
they
have
had
a
business.
H
Sure
I
can
answer
the
the
first
question
there.
The
experience
comes
from
me.
I
own
and
operate
a
retail
store
in
holyoke.
It's
been
open
for
over
a
year.
We
have
a
pristine
track
record.
We
have
no
regulatory
violations
either
at
the
city
level,
under
the
terms
of
our
special
permit,
nor
with
the
cannabis
control
commission,
I
am
a
singularly
devoted
cannabis
attorney.
I
help
people
comply
with
the
rules
at
the
state
and
local
level.
I'm
a
former
municipal
attorney
I've.
H
H
H
James
finney
has
managed
a
staff
of
over
130
people
before,
and
you
know
cannabis.
Businesses
are
not
so
dissimilar
to
other
retail
businesses,
except
that
there's
that
extra
layer
of
regulatory
stuff
you
have
to
abide
by
so
with
with
our
powers
combined.
I
am
very
confident
that
we'll
maintain
that
that
exemplary
track
record
with
you
know
an
area,
regulatory
violation
and,
as
desi
alluded
to
earlier,
you
know
there
are
a
lot
of
you
know:
mega
companies
from
out
of
state
looking
to
steamroll
neighborhoods.
H
That
is
not
at
all
what
we're
doing
here:
we've
adapted
our
our
policies
and
procedures
and
proposal.
You
know
in
direct
response
to
the
neighborhood
concerns
that
have
been
raised,
and
I
I
don't
think
you'd
get
that
same
commitment
from
you
know
an
out-of-state
mega-corporation
that
just
sees
profit
as
the
singular
goal
and
I'll
let
desi
handle
the
second
question.
F
Well,
I
mean
I've.
I've
we've
discussed
that
already,
but,
as
I
mentioned,
we
are
you
know
having
the
added
security
cameras.
We
are
also
committed
to
engaging
with
neighborhood
groups
and
and
just
whatever
arises
in
the
in
the
neighborhood.
That
needs
to
be
done,
whether
that's
clean
up
volunteering
to
take
graffiti
off
the
walls.
F
You
know
going
to
the
monthly
meetings
to
ensure
that
our
business
is
not
being
impactful
to
the
community.
You
know
that's
one
of
the
reasons
that
we
are
continuing
to
meet
with
the
community.
We
want
to
know
what
the
community
needs
are.
I
don't
want
to
have
a
meeting
and
offer
the
leather
district
fire
truck,
or
you
know,
community
benefits
that
we
think
that
you
might
need.
B
H
Sure
so
in
holyoke
we
have
run
expungement
clinics
to
help
people
in
holyoke
as
an
area
of
disproportionate
impact.
The
physical
space
of
this
store
will
allow
us
the
opportunity
to
host
frequent
expungement
clinics,
in
addition
to
attempting
to
prevent
some
of
the
things
that
already
are
here
in
the
leather
district
today.
So
the
addition
of
the
cameras
will
allow
us
to
monitor
you
know
during
our
operating
hours.
H
If
anyone
from
our
store
is
doing
anything
in
violation
of
the
friendly
neighborhood
agreement,
if
they
are
again
they'll
be
banned
from
the
store
and
also
our
you
know
intended
cross-section
of
customers.
We
really
expect
it
to
be
professionals
and
that's
largely
based
on
the
incredibly
high
cost
of
regulated
cannabis
because
it
has
to
be
tested
and
it's
heavily
taxed
at
twenty
percent,
as
well
as
a
three
percent
community
impact
fee.
H
The
commitment
here
is
to
engage
with
the
neighborhood
to
try
to
clean
up
some
of
the
loitering
the
littering
try
to
try
to
tamp
down
some
of
the
you
know
public
consumption
issues
of
any
substance
within
our
you
know
direct
you
know,
cartilage
in
the
building
and
to
offer
the
space
on
our
second
floor
to
various
non-profits
that
do
great
work
in
the
city
in
the
neighborhood
and
and
that's
a
pretty
unique
structure.
To
my
knowledge
in
the
state.
B
Thank
you
for
that.
Eileen
asked
the
cameras
are
not
the
cameras
are
not
going
to
be
on
south
street
lincoln
street
kneeling
street
and
all
and
above
all,
in
an
alleyways,
so
when
folks
are
loitering
littering
loud
etc.
In
other
parts
of
the
neighborhood
question
mark
I
find
it.
I
find
it
hard
to
believe
commuter.
Rail
users
will
not
be
part
of
your
client
base
that
you
are
targeting
local
residents.
H
We
we
do
fully
expect
commuter
customers
to
shop
at
our
store.
Many
of
the
folks
commuting
are
commuting
back
to
towns
that
don't
allow
retail
stores
and
yeah.
That's
that's
our
target
cross-section
professionals
who
work
in
the
in
the
area.
You
know.
Certainly
people
who
live
in
your
buildings
consume
cannabis.
Massachusetts
has
the
highest
percentage
of
adults
that
admit
to
consuming
cannabis
in
the
hot
and
entire
country
at
21.
B
Brass
track
tax
asked:
why
won't
this
store
lower
the
surrounding
property
value?
Is
it
attracting
customers
which
are
beneficial
to
our
value?
Is
the
through
traffic
parking
or
aesthetic
of
the
store
value
to
long-term
residents
over
other
businesses,
taking
property
value
as
a
aggregate
score
of
the
value
of
a
store
to
a
neighborhood?
B
G
So
I'm
going
to
jump
in
there
have
been
several
studies
across
the
united
states
that
show
that
property
values
near
dispensaries
actually
go
up.
That's
likely
a
factor
of
how
difficult
it
is
to
open
a
dispensary,
as
you
can
see
from
this
evening,
of
all
the
people
that
have
shown
up
and
and
voiced
so
much
opposition.
G
F
I
think
also
the
the
property.
One
of
the
reasons
that
property
values
may
go
up
is
because
you
know
cannabis
establishments
are
some
of
the
most
secure
establishments
out
there.
So
what
we're
seeing
is
that
you
know
crime
can
be
reduced
by
having
these
dispensaries
nearby,
because
they're
so
heavily
secured.
The
security
footage
is
very
in
debt.
F
G
I
Well,
I
already
spoke
before,
but
still
I
would
appreciate
to
really
understand
which
are
the
benefits
of
visitor
in
our
neighborhood
beside
the
installation
of
the
camera.
We
do
not
need
support
to
control
the
safety.
I'm
trying
to
understand.
What's
the
value
to
have
this
store
next
to
my
building,
because
again
I
I
only
see
problem
for
my
daily
activities,
so
I
would
really
appreciate
and
change
my
mind
tonight
by
telling
me
the
benefits
why
a
resident
who
would
like
to
have
this
store
next
door.
F
I
Yeah,
no,
it
would
be
great
because
you
know,
I
don't
think
that
you
need
to
address
when
you
open
the
store.
I
don't
think
that
you
are
addressing
the
neighborhood,
the
problem
or
what
what
these
neighbors
needs.
I
I'm
asking
you,
since
you
have
this
this
idea
and
that's
great
for
you
and
for
your
company
for
your
benefit.
F
Thank
you,
antonio.
I
I
think
that
you
know
the
cons,
the
concerns
that
you
have
and
I'll
say
it
again.
We
we
just
there
are
11
dispensaries
right
now.
Operating
these
neighborhoods
have
not
been
impacted
negatively.
There
have
not
been
a
rise
in
crime
or
substance
abuse
or
any
of
the
concerns
that
you
just
mentioned.
So
there's
right
now,
there's
really
no
data
to
suggest
that
these
things
will
happen
once
the
store
is
up
and
running
in
this
here
in
the
city
of
boston.
F
T
T
I've
been
there
before
and
even
residents
have
been
there
because
my
uncle
reggie
owns
a
business
right
on
the
corner,
a
couple
of
places
on
south
street
as
well
as
lincoln
street,
and
my
concern
is
for
when
we
have
kids
at
the
park.
So
understandably,
if
you
open
a
store
and
your
patrons
are
going
to
smoke,
where
would
they
end
up
smoking?
They're
not
going
to
go
back
across
the
street
to
south
station
and
smoke
in
there
in
their
area
they
most
likely
will
walk
over
to
the
park.
T
They're
already
doing
it.
Now,
with
the
skateboarders,
I've
been
there
with
people
just
walking
in
and
hanging
out
smoking,
and
I
ask
them
to
leave
and
stuff
like
that.
But
what
do
you?
What
are
you
gonna
do?
Or
what
are
there?
Any
kind
of
provisions
for
when
their
kids
are
in
the
park
smoking
around
kids
because
we've
started
to
work
with
the
skateboarders
to
say:
hey.
If
this
kid's
in
the
park
be
respectful
of
the
kids,
what
can
we
do
or
what?
T
What
do
you
do
or
have
you
even
analyzed
that,
because
we're
not
300
feet
from
your
budding
zone?
What
are
you
going
to
do
to
prevent
your
patrons
from
going
into
the
park?
Because,
technically
it's
not
even
patrolled
by
boston
police?
You
can
put
a
camera
there.
Boston
police
cannot
respond
because
the
park
is
on
state
property.
T
So
you
have
to
find
a
state
state
trooper
to
actually
go
in
there
to
do
anything.
What
can
your
store
do
to
protect?
Like?
I
said
the
kids
again,
I'm
not
a
resident.
I
live
out
here
in
beautiful
midfield,
where
it's
open
air,
but
I'm
there.
Every
summer,
I've
been
there
every
summer
since
the
place
opened,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
kids
from
chinatown,
the
kids
from
the
leather
district
that
use
the
park
now
and
it's
going
to
be.
T
H
Sure,
thank
you
for
that
question.
Russell.
So,
yeah
again,
anyone
to
be
admitted
to
the
store
has
to
prove
that
they're
21.,
the
state's
cannabis
control
commission,
requires
every
single
product
to
have
a
unique
alphanumeric
code
on
it.
That
is
it's
a
seed
to
sale
tracking
platform.
So
that
means
we
know
who
grew
it.
We
know
who
who
made
it
and
we
know
who
sold
it.
H
So
if
someone
is
in
the
park
or
if
there's
a
wrapper,
that
someone
leaves
in
the
park
that
bar
code
that
alphanumeric
code
would
be
traceable
back
to
our
store,
we'd
cross
reference
it
with
a
friendly
neighborhood
agreement
and
permanently
ban
them,
we
can't
control.
You
know
what
what
people
do
in
parks,
but
again
we
can
control
who
comes
into
our
stores
and
our
target
customer
base.
We
really
think
are
going
to
be.
H
You
know,
people
in
their
30s
and
40s
and
50s
and
60s
who
aren't
apt
to
you,
know
smoke
in
public
the
way
a
teenager
might
again
you
you
can't
enter
the
store,
unlike
a
liquor
store.
You
can't
bring
your
toddler
in
it's.
It's
even
a
boston
police
officer.
If
they
happen
to
be
20
years
old
would
not
be
allowed
in
the
store,
because
state
law
trumps
the
local
policies
so
yeah.
This
is
our
firm
commitment.
I
have
two
young
children
myself
and
yeah.
H
It's
it's
much
like
alcohol.
You,
you
have
to
keep
it
away
from
children
by
state
law.
I
guess
the
the
major
difference
is
you
know.
Alcohol
can
and
does
kill
people
and
cannabis
is
biologically
incapable
of
killing
a
human,
but
yeah
we
primarily
will
be
able
to
force
through
metric
tracking
our
friendly
neighborhood
agreement,
which
again
is
a
a
step
we're
taking.
That
goes
above
and
beyond
what
the
city
and
the
state
require.
T
So
you
know,
how
can
how
can
your
store
or
or
how
can
you
prevent
them
from
going
or
you
know,
deter
them
from
from
using
at
the
park?
And
that's
that's
all
I
have
I
I
you
know
like
I
said
I
don't
live
in
in
the
leather
district,
but
I
support
leather
district,
I'm
very
active
in
the
community
and
I
care
about
the
kids.
F
T
F
F
I've
also
found
packaging
for
cannabis
at
the
local
park
near
my
house,
at
which
point
I
did
report
to
that
that
business
I
mean
you
know
we're
we're
here
to
work
with
the
community.
We're
happy
to
to
you
know,
stay
in
contact
with,
with
yourself
and
and
members
of
the
community
who
run
the
park.
We
definitely
don't
want
to
see
our
patrons.
F
You
know
head
that
way
or
or
consume
in
the
park,
and
if
we
find
out
that
they
are
that's
something
that
we
can
include
in
the
friendly
neighbor
agreement,
as
well
as
work
with
you
to
ensure
that
you
know
that
this
isn't
happening
and
that
if
it
is
happening,
it's
not
our
patrons.
But
but
we're
more
than
happy
to
to
work
with
you
around
this
and
and
to
be
part
of
the
community
helping
to
make
these
type
of
changes.
F
S
B
G
H
S
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
say
I
think
the
the
permanent
banning
from
an
establishment
is
a
pretty
high
deterrent
for
people
who
are
aware
that
that's
a
consequence,
I
would
say
if
no
one
wants
to
not
be
able
to
access,
you
know
what
what
they
came
to
buy.
Even
if
somebody
banned
us
from
any
store
that
we
go
to
or
we
plan
to
go
to
regulatory
regularly.
I
would
say
that's
pretty
strong.
As
long
as
they're
aware
sounds
good
to
me.
F
P.
You
know
we're
seeing
these
currently
operating
dispensaries
going
up
in
front
of
the
cannabis
board
saying
you
know
we
committed
to
this
because
the
neighborhood
had
concerns
around
it
and
you
know
we're
just
not
seeing
it
happen.
So
you
know
slowly.
Some
of
those
commitments
are
are,
are
being
you
know.
Companies
are
being
released
from
from
their
commitments
because
they're
just
not
seeing
a
lot
of
the
concerns
that
are
happening.
But,
as
I
said,
you
know
the
commitment
we
make
today.
M
Yes,
hi.
Thank
you
I
spoke
before.
I
just
would
like
to
elaborate
on
a
point
that
drew
lev
had
made,
which
is
something
I
think
you
need
to
be
aware
of:
drew
had
referred
to
a
service
alley
between
south
and
lincoln
streets.
There's
also
a
service
alley
between
south
and
atlantic
avenue,
and
that
one
is
is
very
different
because
it
leads
into
a
dead
end.
The
dead
end
is
directly
behind
the
establishment
that
you're
looking
at
and
drew
had
referred
to.
M
T
M
H
F
Larry
and-
and
I
know
exactly
you
know-
I
walked
back
through
the
alley
and,
and
initially
that
was
my
idea
said:
why
can't
we
put
a
camera,
but
as
as
blake
mentioned,
it's
it's
not
part
of
our
property,
so
the
advantage
we
have
in
in
being
in
the
corner
is
that
we
have
multiple
views
of
the
neighborhood
down
atlantic
across
south
station
down
beach
street.
One
of
the
things
we
can
ensure
is,
I
know
that
ally
exits
out
on
on
lincoln
street.
I'm
sorry
on
atlantic
ave
on.
F
Yeah,
so
so
one
of
the
things,
I
think
the
camera
footage
that
we
have
facing
atlantic
avenue.
You
know
that's
the
most
we
can
do
is
if
someone
is
coming
out
of
that
alley.
If,
let's
say
someone
on
the
other
side
of
the
street
gets
footage
of
someone
going
in
the
alley.
There's
a
crime
back
there,
something
happens.
The
most
we
can
do
is
at
least
have
the
footage
from
atlantic
ave
who
came
out
of
that
alley
on
on
the
atlantic
outside
right.
C
B
B
H
Yes,
I
can
handle
that
so
yeah,
the
the
state
of
massachusetts,
has
some
of
the
highest
prices
for
adult
use,
regulated
cannabis
in
the
country.
For
instance,
you
know
if,
if
we
were
to
sell
single
joints,
which
again
we're
not
planning
to
do
those
are
between
15
and
20
dollars,
you
know
for
a
half
gram
or
gram,
which
is
you
know,
not
a
huge
amount.
H
H
You
know
a
gram
of
of
an
extract
would
be
anywhere
from
75
to
a
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
and
yeah
the
you
know.
Everything
about
this
industry
is
expensive.
Compliance
is
expensive.
You
know
our
rent
is
expensive,
so
there's
not
going
to
be.
You
know
an
ocean
state
job
lots
of
cannabis
on
the
corner.
H
It's
going
to
be
products,
you
know,
obviously
we're
limited
to
buying
from
licensed
cultivators
and
manufacturers.
They
all
have
to
to
make
money.
So
again
the
data
shows
that
our
state
has
some
of
the
highest
prices
in
the
country
over
time.
If
you
look
to
california
colorado
oregon
et
cetera,
prices
do
gradually
go
down
as
more
people.
You
know
come
online,
but
inherently
you
know,
we
don't
live
in
the
tropics
right,
so
cannabis
is
expensive
to
grow.
H
B
Thank
you.
So
are
there
anybody
else
that
wants
to
speak?
If
you
do
want
to
speak,
please
click
the
raised
hand
button
as
of
right.
Now
there
are
no
raised
hands
so
I'll.
Go
back
to
the
chat,
read
off
questions
from
the
chat
again,
I
will
only
be
reading
questions
with
the
residents
attached
to
the
to
the
questions,
so
I
will
start
with
lisa
galteri.
B
I
live
at
some
atlantic.
What
are
what
are
you
going
to
do
to
prevent
people
from
sitting
on
our
front
steps
or
on
or
on
our
fronts?
Okay,
do
you
do
I
three
one
month?
Do
I
get
ready
to
move
them?
The
area
is
often
full
of
smoke
at
other
boston
stores,
though
I
have
no
confidence
that
the
dispensary
cares
about
anything
for
sale.
F
H
F
I
just
like
to
say
that
I've
I've
written
our
email
on
the
chat.
I
know
that
you
know
a
lot
of
people
have
asked
questions
if
there's
anyone
that
was
not
able
to
make
it
to
today's
meeting,
we
are
more
than
happy
to
have
another
community
meeting
or
meet
with
any
residents
of
the
community
who
who
weren't
able
to
make
it
today.
B
B
F
F
Shulaan
and
I'll
just
go
on
to
say
that
I'm
not
sure
if
the
meeting
is
supposed
to
go
past
8,
I'm
more
than
happy
to
stay
in
a
few
extra
minutes.
If,
if
need
be,
but
I
do,
I
do
have
a
three-year-old.
I
have
to
go
pick
up.
So
yes,
if,
if
I'm
happy
to
stay
a
little
bit
longer,
I
I
would
just
need
to
make
a
quick
phone
call.
B
Yeah,
if
there
are
no
further
questions,
we
can
wrap
this
meeting
up.
I
have
left
my
email
in
the
chat.
I
am
the
chinatown
downtown
leather
district
liaison.
So
if
you
have
any
questions
concerning
this
project,
you
can
reach
out
to
me

well
as

Please

conversation
is

I
I
do

out
today.
I
I
admire
the
passion
that

something
that
you

I
wish
to
see
in
every
community.
