Pot Shops: There Goes The Neighborhood?

摘要

Healthy Pharms sounds like such an agreeable business, until you read a lawsuit filed by a would-be neighbor on Harvard Square in Cambridge, Mass. It warns of "pungent odors," "undesirable visitors," higher crime rates, and lower property values if the medical marijuana shop opens as planned. Not incidentally, it also points out that Healthy Pharms would operate in flagrant disregard of the federal law that categorizes cannabis as a controlled substance every bit as illegal as heroin or cocaine.
