Johnson begins by explaining the history of cannabis legalization in Massachusetts, highlighting the roles of the Cannabis Control Commission and the foundational steps leading up to the legalization and regulation of medical and adult-use cannabis. She further discusses the research mandates that monitor the social and economic impacts of cannabis and the public health impact on the state level. The presentation emphasizes the importance of evidence-based policy-making and regulatory practices, tackling topics such as testing standards for various cannabinoids, heavy metals, pesticides, and more. Highlights include analyses of THC and THCA trends and data on total yeast and mold rates.  Johnson underscores the critical need for rigorous testing standards to distinguish between regulated and unregulated markets, particularly with the rise of novel cannabinoids like Delta-8 and Delta-10 THC. The event also touches on the challenges faced in cannabis and cannabinoid research due to federal scheduling, advocating for better standardization and regulatory frameworks. The interaction ends with a Q&A session discussing broader implications such as the rescheduling of cannabis under federal law and the public health concerns associated with chemically-derived cannabinoids.
