Massachusetts Cannabis Control Public Comment on Friday!
If you are a resident of Massachusetts, I strongly encourage folks to sign up to testify or submit written comments at the CCC public hearing THIS Friday at 10am. The hearing will receive public comment on the proposed regulations that will change the agency’s oversight of host community agreements (HCAs) and municipal equity requirements (for specific language on the draft regulations click HERE).
What to say:
A team at MassCOSH is working together to draft specific recommendations on what we encourage this coalition to recommend to the board in their testimonies.
How to sign up:
Sign up to testify virtually or in person using this form: https://cannabiscontrol.formstack.com/forms/ccc_public_hearing_testimony_signup Otherwise, written public comment will be accepted through 5pm on September 8th and must be sent to Commission@CCCMass.com
Ultimately our goal is to center worker health and safety on every front in the cannabis industry!
Our core recommendations include developing an illness and injury prevention program at the CCC. This would include:
Ensuring that the core training for vendors and employees includes a curriculum that covers worker health and safety and hazard recognition and control.
Technical assistance to social equity recipients and small businesses around health and safety program implementation
Require common language on model host community agreements that include health and safety standards.

Retired DEA Agent on why he supports Free Karen Read!
Sean McDonough AKA Sean Onthegulf was born in Boston with Canton roots. He’s a 1975 Canton High School graduate and is also a retired Supervisory Agent with the DEA.
His last DEA assignment was in Bogota, Colombia where he supervised all money laundering investigations for the DEA, which he says was one of his best assignments. He retired with the DEA after 28 years with previous assignments in Washington DC, Massachusetts, Texas, Peru, Florida, and Venezuela.
Sean also worked for the US Capitol Police, in DC and with the Arlington County Police Department in Arlington, VA where he was assigned as a CSI Agent.
McDonough has noted that with the John O'Keefe/Karen Read investigation, all the (law enforcement) protocols were flat-out ignored and deviated from.
He posted a viral social media letter to Canton Police Chief Rafferty asking her 17 questions with his name and law enforcement bonafides. He’s still waiting for a response.
McDonough firmly believes that Karen Read is innocent based on all the reports he’s read and questions how the evidence was found, collected, and processed.
