Some Massachusetts residents are preparing for the coronavirus pandemic by stockpiling supplies — emptying grocery store shelves, stacking up cans of black beans in their cupboards and, apparently, buying a lot of marijuana to make it through a potential extended self-quarantine period.
For customers like Mary K. Murray, purchasing a few months worth of marijuana products is the easiest way to manage her chronic hip pain, when other medications might be harder to come by. “I can’t stockpile my so-called traditional medications that are issued by a pharmacist at CVS or Walgreens,” Murray says, standing outside the NETA exit.
Some customers leaving NETA find themselves in less serious circumstances, though still feeling a general sense of anxiety about having enough marijuana to last through the next few weeks, should the shops close down or they get stuck at home. Jamaica Plain resident Drew Ward had an apartment meeting with his roommates once they received the news that they’d all be working from home for the foreseeable future. “Well, we got up this morning and we divvied up the list of things we need,” he said. “Rice and beans is one person, liquor's the other, and I'm weed. We thought we'd get here before they shut down, too.”
