![]() Luckily there wasn’t much damage and we were able to open that same day, we weren’t sure about opening but as we were out there, cleaning the glass, assessing the damage, every other person, every other car stopped and asked about us, they were concerned, they were very vocal about the fact that this wasn’t neighborhood people because neighborhood people support Pure Oasis, we made the decision to open that day because we felt like we needed to be there for the community and if we close they win and that’s not what we wanted, we wanted to be “Boston Strong”, to represent the strength of our community, and the resolve of our community, we’ve come this far and this isn't going to stop us or slow us down. All across the city different businesses were looted, damaged it was kind of a gut punch. Then you get a call in the middle of the night, there’s been an intrusion, it’s disheartening on a couple of different levels but more so within the shadow of George Floyd losing his life and people protesting peacefully, there were a number of individuals who wanted to take advantage of that for personal gain. Like most people, we were watching the news on Sunday night and seeing all the protests and went to bed feeling pretty good the protests were happening across town and Pure Oasis was safe because we are what 3 to 5 miles away from where everything is happening, we just felt like we didn't have much to worry about. Where do we start, the Netflix show, after Governor Charlie Baker allows you to re-open and now you got looted?Ģ020 has been a very interesting year, it's interesting all these global and national things happened and now we end up in the crosshairs of everything. I recently had Evans on my podcast, The Young Jurks, and we touched that issue and others, plus discussed the recent break-in and robbery of Pure Oasis and other dispensaries. Naturally, they spoke about what cannabis equity looks like nationally and in Massachusetts. It’s the first black-owned cannabis dispensary in the City of Boston, and if that’s not a big enough accomplishment, the pair recently had a star turn on an episode of Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj on Netflix.
