HUDSON, MASS. (WHDH) - Parents in Hudson are raising concerns about the opening of a new recreational marijuana shop in town.
The business is currently requiring customers to park in a nearby lot and take shuttles to the shop.
That parking lot is just a block away from an elementary school, which some parents say is concerning.
The Temescal Wellness shop opened its doors for business on Wednesday.
The shop is using a shuttle system to avoid traffic issues seen at some of the other recreational marijuana dispensaries.
One concerned parent said, “I don’t think it belongs anywhere near school zones.”
Another agreed, saying, “Kids might be walking home, they might get curious. I don’t think it’s a good idea having them anywhere this close.”
Some parents in town are considering a petition to relocate the shop’s parking lot away from any schools.
