That includes Brookline, where they voted 17,803-11,066 to legalize recreational marijuana statewide. But now, in a community […]

The vaping lot
It’s been an open secret for some time that vaping is a serious problem at Wakefield High School and at high schools everywhere. Vaping, if you don’t already know, is short for “vaporizing,” in which cartridges containing nicotine or even THC concentrate from marijuana, are vaporized rather than smoked.
