Never mind (and let's put aside) the known fact there's enough underground weed circulating 'round here to mellow out a Gillette-Stadium size crowd of Deadheads. The current proposal to zone any "medical marijunana" sites out to the boonies is not needed, and just more bad and worthless gas from a bunch of mis-informed folks who probably could use a toke or two to loosen up. Wish they'd join us in THIS century and get informed. <br />Any...and all medical herb will come in the form of pills. liquids, and lozenges and/or lollipop type candies only available with a prescription like all the other controlled narcotics available at (guess where...wait for it) Rite Aid and CVS. <br /><br />Meaning that if the Good Old Constipated Crew at the Sturbridge Zoning Board (who got it wrong again) prevail it's only gonna be a matter of time to wait for the roll back when lawyers from CVS and Rite Aid ask for relief from this stupid ordinance. And they will get it. Of course, never mind how knee jerk this all seems. The Zoning Gang don't care 'bout that. This is the crew that brought you illegal spot zoning at New Boston Road for a complex that will now never be built (thanks, spotted salamander!) and a poorly thought out moratorium on any and all wind power generation (how Nimby of them!). The hits just keep on coming. <br /><br />They ought to put a windmill on the town seal. 'Cuz most folks on committees 'round these parts like Zoning sure spend a lotta time tilting at them!.
