So when are we going to decrease the number of licenses in Framingham for establishments selling alcohol? Obviously, it is a huge health risk, especially to our children.

So smoking is bad for you but Councilor Grove does not want to shut down stores that cell cigaretts. Alcohol is bad for you but Councilor Grove is not saying we should shut down liquor stores. There have been no statistically significant studies that prove that pot is bad for you, but she is screaming about shutting down pot shops. I voted for her, but given her stand on this issue I will not do that again. Not because she is opposed to pot shops, but because her reasoning is clearly lacking and her sources for her information are known fake news sites. She should have attended the LWV event on fake news! She obviously does not know how to identify it.

And the BOH should be very interested in this study on alcahol

I have one very simple question. How many people in MA died in the last year because of alcohol (not drunk driving, but just as a result of drinking alchohol)? How many people in MA dies in the last year because of pot (again, not related to driving which is not something you can prove beyond a reasonable doubt)? If you see those numbers, than it just makes Grove look like an idiot. If she wants us to believe her opposition is truly based on concern for our kids, then she should be screaming about the product that is killing our kids, and that product is not pot. Did she not read the stories about the kid how died at a fraternity hazing because they made him drink too much alcohol? If they made him smoke too much pot, he would have just been asleep for a few hours, and would have woken up without any hangover even. Instead they fed the kid alcohol and he will never wake up. Seems pretty clear to me which of these is the bigger issue. How can those opposing this be so stupid? They should be screaming about alcohol,not pot, if they really care about our kids. Grove does not give a damm about kids, she is just grandstanding.

THis argument is ridiculous. Pot is legal, and people have the right to buy legal products. It is the responsibility of the police to make sure no one under age buys, just like it is there responsibility to make sure no one under age buys cigarettes or alcohol. Since when did the Board of Health or the District Councilors take over the police departments job?

I hope the Board of Health takes this up at their next meeting, or are they biased and only try to regulate the things they don't like?

Well they certainly have it in for the cannabis industry... but there's a motivation here on their part. At the Council Meeting that went past 11PM, the Chair of the BOH snuck in a statement, that the BOH will be issuing their own fees on pot shops, to bring in more revenue to the BOH. This is just like the Marijuana Tax Act of 8 decades ago.
