📰 News we're reading
• Massachusetts approves social consumption of marijuana in public spaces (turnto10.com) — New state cannabis rules will soon let licensed cafes and lounges offer on-site marijuana use, and Attleboro’s Zahara Cannabis is already eyeing how to enhance customer education and experience. The regulations require safety steps like rideshare plans and banning alcohol, and the first licenses will go to social equity applicants, so local consumers won’t see these spaces open for several months.

• Joe Verderber wants to bring pride and tradition back to Walpole boys hockey (masslive.com) — Attleboro hockey fans may remember coach Joe Verderber, who led the high school program for a decade before moving on to Walpole.
