<p>In this inaugural episode, host Grant Smith Ellis sits down with two of the pillars of grassroots advocacy in Massachusetts, Shaleen Title and Joe Gilmore, for a wide-ranging discussion on the state of cannabis policy both within the Commonwealth and on a national scale. During the discussion, updates are provided on the state-level social equity loan fund bill (S.63), Host Community Agreement reform (S.72), and social consumption (S.65) -- all bills currently under consideration on on Beacon Hill. The panel also covers the Cannabis Control Commission's ongoing work related to identifying Areas of Disproportionate Impact (ADI) and some quick news on the future of federal legalization efforts (including what changes to the SAFE Banking Act might give the bill a chance of passage). <br> <br> To read Shaleen's recent paper on efficiency implementing equity via intentional regulatory frameworks, visit this link: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3978766<br> <br> To learn more about the Boston Equity Program, visit this link: https://www.boston.gov/departments/economic-development/cannabis-equity-program<br> </p>
