Pot-shop proposals are popping up like daisies across Boston:
On Tuesday, Jody Mendoza and her husband, Richy Peña, hold an outreach meeting for their proposed Mojos pot shop at 1292 Blue Hill Ave. in Mattapan. The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Mattapan Public Library. The Dorchester Reporter has more on the proposal.
On Wednesday, Roslindale residents get a chance to discuss Mitch Rosenfield's proposal for a recreational pot shop at 882 South St., across from Green T, in Roslindale. Rosenfield, who lives around the corner from the site, has run the Hempest clothing store on Newbury Street for more than two decades - and has long been active in the movement to legalize marijuana in Massachusetts.
The outreach meeting begins at 6 p.m. in the Roslindale Community Center, 6 Cummins Highway.
Also on Wednesday, the Jamaica Plain Neighborhood Council holds a meeting to discuss Core Empowerment's proposed retail pot shop at 401 Centre St., next to the recently re-opened Caffe Aromi in Hyde Square. The meeting begins at 7 p.m. at Farnsworth House, 90 South St.
Next week, on Dec. 12, East Boston residents get to hear about Omnicann's proposal for a pot shop at 24 Porter St. in Central Square. The meeting begins at 6:20 p.m. at the East Boston Social Center, 68 Central Square.

That’ll be great for the traffic problem. Considering parking is tough in this area as well.....

Aren't they putting one in by the vape store and the sex toy shop by the Long John Silver's on Rt 1? The seedy underbelly of West Roxbury...

As long as the folks in Roslindale make plans for the initial rush related to traffic etc I am fine with this. All of the craziness seen with the early shops should eventually diminish as more open, but there will probably need to be some traffic control and orderliness issues taken into consideration at the outset and until it calms down.

Cannabis should be sold in the vegetable section of the supermarkets. In the Philippines where there is no government regulation cannabis is $15 a ton.

That struck me as unlikely, in a place where the government has been actively killing drug users and dealers. Looks like the going rate there is more like $30 a gram, according to http://www.priceofweed.com/prices/Philippines.html

Hemp and cannabis are related, but only in the same sense that housecats and cheetahs are.
