We finally got the letter and the doors are actually going to open which honestly feels like a fever dream after all that time spent just staring at the keys to a building we couldn't use. I am still shaking typing this because the city actually came through and I …

“The 420” is Boston’s first proposed cannabis dispensary and cultivation facility located at 1626 Blue Hill avenue in Mattapan Square. We are a Black-owned, family-owned business and certified with the state of Massachusetts as an “Economic Empowerment applicant” which should have provided us with a recognized priority status. Like the employees we intend to hire from the areas of disproportionate impact by the war on drugs, we are from the community.
We have been waiting for almost 2 years for our letter of support from a city councilor while struggling to pay rent on a building we are unable to use, so we as asking for help. Please sign the petition as a demonstration of support of our business in Mattapan Square, and help end this wait by requesting the city honor it’s commitment to our company. We will send this petition to the newly elected City Councilman Ricardo Arroyo, and request a letter of support so that we can move forward in the process after years of waiting.

I really never expected this much movement when I started this because the waiting has been so quiet and draining for our family. Seeing people show up for us like this makes me feel like there is actually a path forward now instead of just hitting a wall every single day.

420 is a direct or will be a direct competitor of ours at CNA Stores with in the state (not locally) and I still support their project.
There is no one more deserving than Mr. Spencer when it comes to being extended a retail license in the city of Boston for his proposed retail dispensary. (in particular as he was the first person (EE applicant or otherwise) to submit a completed application in Boston over 2 years ago. Mr. Spencer's integrity and commitment to the local community is a standing testament to his fitness for selection and it is my honor today to be able to sign this petition in support of his important work. No one (in particular EE applicants) should be driven near to bankruptcy due only to a 2 year wait for a municipal permit.
The wait has been far too long! Give economic empowerment applicants the priority status that was promised!
I support Chauncey Spencer and 420 Mattapan. Chauncey is local guy that was harmed by the war on drugs an works hard to educate an advocate for our community.
I just want to say this men is doing and going by all laws. If he didnt the same people holding them licenses are the first one to say jail time. Now that it's legal and we as a Americans are following the procedures it's taking time, I think this brother is doing great things and will continue. I fully support Chauncy Spencer ✊
As a resident of mattapan I am in full support for this!!!
It's about time!

I'm in full support of people who are from the community opening businesses and enriching their community versus others who would just see the opportunity as a way to gain wealth at the potential cost of the community.
