BROOKLINE, MA - 8/22/2019: Some 2,500 daily customers at the state's busiest cannabis store at New England Treatment Access in Brookline that was once a bank. People wait in line for hours every day, in all kinds of weather, to enter Brookline's pot shop, New England Treatment Access. It's possibly the country's busiest cannabis store, as the state's slow marijuana licensing has allowed the shop to remain since it opened in March as the closest pot store to Boston and the only one easily accessible by the T. You may try to beat the line by ordering on the web, but the pick-up line can still stretch to nearly an hour on some days. (David L Ryan/Globe Staff ) SECTION: METRO TOPIC 23brooklinepot
