Letter: No Pot Shops in Holliston

Dear Editor,

I am writing to express my concern about the recently passed ballot question on marijuana.  While I understand the need for people with medical ailments to use the substance, I am concerned about a pot shop opening in our community. 

In California, where a similar law passed, there are major problems within the communities that host the pot shops that sell the substance.  That’s why the district attorneys opposed the ballot question last year. 

I think Holliston should consider banning these pot shops from our community.  We don’t want our children having easy access to the drug.
