Yes I know we just sent out a Talking Joints Memo newsletter on Friday but things are busy around here and there are already more than 10 new articles on the site since the weekend - including some of the best deep cannabis reporting from around the country that we run on Monday mornings. Start off here with the latest from the last CCC meeting from Zack Huffman, and stay tuned for more than 50 product reviews over the next two weeks. That's right, we've been extremely busy. Hope to see a lot of you out there for Boston Cannabis Week too. Be sure to bring samples! https://lnkd.in/ezwFfHeP

When Mass cannabis news is so major that every outlet in the state is jumping on the story, then I figure the best service Talking Joints Memo can provide - or at least one of them - is continuous context and aggregation. More on the way, including more breakdowns and explainers, but for now here's what is being reported by various outlets, plus a timeline of our coverage of the battle over the past year. https://lnkd.in/ephCYKAZ

New opinion piece on social consumption from TJM Editor Chris Faraone ...
Almost every conversation I have had with people about the prospect of licensing and regulating cannabis consumption in the Bay State—especially if we are talking about outdoor concert venues—arrives at someone saying something to the tune of, "Do we really need to make this stuff official? I light up at every show I go to with no problem. Don’t written rules threaten to ruin the good thing that we already have going?" https://lnkd.in/eDErsGND

For the most part, attorneys have always been my favorite guest writers, since they file nearly perfect copy. But these days I'm leaning more toward scientists, because they bring receipts.

With everything happening with the Cannabis Control Commission , here's my writeup of Friday's eight-hour meeting with some general analysis of what is going on ... While the many warts and wounds called out by the inspector general do need attention—some are truly outrageous, like the secrecy around the suspension of Chair Shannon O’Brien—it’s also true that the grind of state cannabis regulation chugs on in Worcester, where agency staffers are actively processing new applications and re-ups alike. They’re also tackling a range of other issues outside of the licensing routine, and on Friday the four current commissioners and supporting attorneys and others got down to business. https://lnkd.in/ewzkW4MQ
