Parents and other adults dropping off and picking up kids at the YMCA of Greater Springfield are arriving smelling like weed, a Y official says.
Recreational marijuana became legal in Massachusetts in December 2016, but the first recreational marijuana shops began opening only recently.
“Staff at the YMCA of Greater Springfield have smelled some of you out and have been instructed to document instances of anyone suspected of being under the influence,” says a notice posted recently at Y locations in the western Massachusetts city. “While marijuana is now legal in Massachusetts, caring for children while under the influence can be considered neglect especially when operating a motor vehicle. What you do on your leisure time is none of our concern. However, when your habit follows you into our facility it raises concerns about you being under the influence.”

They care about the children
The smell is everywhere in Salisbury! You can probable catch a buzz sitting near these people.
I see no problem. Better than crack or Meth. More people smoke weed than you'd think.
