Medical-marijuana dispensary in East Boston gets nod from City Council

The Boston City Council voted unanimously today to write a letter of "non-opposition" for a medical-marijuana dispensary proposed for 220 McClellan Highway in East Boston.

Happy Valley Ventures needs the letter to win state approval for its proposed dispensary.

City Councilor Sal LaMattina (East Boston, Charlestown, North End) praised the application and location. "The location is perfect," he said. "It's a vacant building today. There's plenty of parking." He praised Happy Valley for "a really well thought out security plan."

No councilors spoke against the proposal.

Boston currently has one medical-marijuana dispensary, on Milk Street downtown.

I always thought that building would have made a great seedy live-music venue/homage to the Channel, only call it the Creek. Maybe it could be a combo club/dispensary...?
