As someone who lives in the neighborhood, I am not excited about a (cannabis) dispensary coming in. Yet I feel the argument of being near schools ridiculous; dispensaries are vigilant in who they let in.
Nobody worried about us buying candy at Z’s liquor after school, walking past rows of alcohol to get to the candy section. Most kids won’t know what the place is about. I doubt they will be able to shoulder tap for someone to buy them buds.
