Pot Shops and "Third Places"

What this episode covers

With recreational pot shops deemed non-essential, host Arun Rath speaks with the president and CEO of the Massachusetts Cannabis Business Association, David O’Brien. He also checks in with Georgia Katsoulomitis, executive director of the Massachusetts Law Reform Institute, about the economic toll the pandemic is taking on low-income residents and sort of help they can get. And WGBH Radio’s Paul Singer explains the concept of “third places,” where people gather outside the home and office, and how their closure could impact us.
