Brookline Residents Talk: New Weed Dispensary Opening in Town

Sanctuary Medicinals, at 1351 Beacon St., is scheduled to open its doors to adult-use marijuana users in February 2020, but the retailer still has a long road ahead of it due to pushback from Brookline residents. More than once, dozens of protesters have gathered outside Sanctuary’s Coolidge Corner storefront, calling upon the dispensary to reconsider its prime location. On Nov. 19, at a Brookline town meeting, three warrant articles were proposed with changes including reduced hours and an appointment-only model. We took to the streets to ask Brookline residents what they thought about the new business.
