ICYMI: I had the pleasure of joining @SueNBCBoston and @MattPrichardTV on @IssueNBCBoston and @NBC10Boston to talk federal cannabis rescheduling. MA has been and remains a leader in this space, ready and willing to share our proven practices as rescheduling moves forward.

“The longer marijuana remains scheduled in the CSA, the longer our communities face senselessly severe penalties and the longer the marijuana laws of the majority of U.S. states remain in conflict with federal law,” Thank you @ewarren for making it plain
Elizabeth Warren@ewarren

Right now, marijuana has the same status under federal law as heroin and is labeled as more dangerous than fentanyl or cocaine—which makes no scientific sense. President Biden has called on the DEA to review this policy, and it’s time for them to act. huffpost.com/entry/lawmaker…

Before joining @MA_Cannabis, I worked in @MAStateHouse creating MA’s expungement laws in the wake of cannabis legalization. Joining @SeeRCC was a full circle moment and a reminder of the big picture. Thank you to everyone who shared their experiences.
Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission@MA_Cannabis

This past weekend, Commission staff and Acting Chair @AvaCConcepcion attended the Changing Legacies Expungement Clinic at @SeeRCC to provide resources and answer questions about the Social Equity Program. Thank you to @masscultivated and @AYRWellness for hosting!
