Policy, Decoded

Policy, Decoded is a weekly podcast on cannabis and hemp policy for the people who have to act on a rule before it takes effect. Every Sunday, one argument given the room it needs, with a position at the end. The written briefing runs every weekday morning, and this is the piece that steps back from it. Written by Shawn Collins, inaugural Executive Director of the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission from 2017 to 2023, who built the state's cannabis program from nothing and ran it for six years.
