A close examination of the proposed Cannabis Control Commission restructuring


Last week, the Massachusetts House of Representatives voted unanimously for H.4187, a bill of cannabis policies that sends a clear message of the body’s priorities. The aspect of this bill which has most been proclaimed is the transfer of accountability for the Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) to the governor, but it has many parts. For this column, I chose to focus on the CCC restructuring proposed and what that means.

 

It’s also worth noting some of the bills which were discussed in this legislative session but not included in this bill. These include H.191, the proposal to limit the concentration of THC permitted in cannabis and derived products; H.193, which proposed extensive warning labels; and H.152, which would have established a large special committee to investigate anti-cannabis fearmongering. The halting of these measures demonstrates the political limits of prohibitionist forces in our state.
