You may recall that Lawson & Weitzen Attorney Glenn P. Frank sent an email to Littleton’s Town Planner on November 3, 2023, asking that Littleton Apothecary’s Special Permit, which, in practical terms expired on September 20, 2023, be extended for “Good Cause.” Littleton’s Planning Board did not vote to extend Littleton Apothecary’s Special Permit for […]

On March 23, 2023, the Select Board and Town Counsel Ivria Fried discussed amending the HCAs that the town has with Littleton Apothecary (HCA to sell recreational cannabis), Community Care Collective (HCA to sell recreational cannabis; a second HCA to grow and produce cannabis-related products), and MRM Industries (HCA to produce of cannabis-related products).

Last night, right after I clicked on “send newsletter now” (for Substack) and “publish now” (for WordPress), I closed my laptop and went to watch the Chiefs-Dolphins game with Rob, who, at that moment, was in the kitchen. So, I’m now in the room that my family calls “the library,” waiting for Rob to return. […]

The decision Littleton’s Planning Board made on Sanctuary Medicinals’ Special Permit can be found at the Middlesex Registry of Deeds.

When I toured the Webster property last fall, along with a half dozen other people, I could smell the cannabis plants. And I was not alone. The group remarked on the very distinctive scent (stench, for some) coming downhill from Sanctuary at 234 Taylor Street on a windless afternoon. Over the years, I’ve heard lots […]

Earlier today, I was trying to remember the approximate date that you first brought up your concerns that the Select Board wasn’t getting updated information on the HCAs and TIFs—aka contractual agreements—that the Select Board has with those businesses that hold these HCAs and TIFs in town. I went online to LCTV’s YouTube channel (Did […]

This open letter is to every person who has had the opportunity to both observe and make conclusions about me and my character for the last many years.  Five years ago, I resigned my seat on our town’s Board of Selectmen. This was for many painful reasons, not the least of which was an error […]

You’re going to be reading that quite a bit going forward: “Someone told me.” While it’s nice to have something “in writing” to refer to—say, a link to click on to read Littleton Apothecary’s HCA’s Paragraph 14 “Covenant Not to Sue” and Paragraph 12 “Successors and Assigns” or MRM’s backdated HCA—there is some critical information […]

In the spring of 2022—several months before Athena Assets sold 160 Ayer Road to MR3—Athena Assets received a check for all of Littleton Apothecary’s back rent. The owner of Athena Assets remembers the check being “in the 60s”—so, at least $60,000.00 of unpaid back rent for Suite 4: Littleton Apothecary’s suite, where Matthew’s wife had […]

Paragraph 14 of Littleton Apothecary’s HCA is a “Covenant Not to Sue.” About a year ago, I had coffee with Chuck and asked him why Matthew’s wife’s HCA had a “Covenant Not to Sue” when the other HCA (the one awarded to Community Care Collective for an identical license) lacked the same language. This conversation […]
