Coffee & Conversation: Clearing the Air on Cannabis

Join us for Coffee & Conversation: Clearing the Air on Cannabis

We’re pleased to welcome Travis Ahern, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission, for an informative and conversational discussion about the state’s cannabis industry, the current regulatory landscape, and its impact on Massachusetts businesses and communities.

With a ballot question that could significantly change Massachusetts’ recreational cannabis laws, there are important questions about what that change could mean for an industry that has developed under the rules approved by Massachusetts voters.

Businesses have followed the law, made significant investments, created jobs, opened storefronts, supported local economies, and built their operations around the regulatory framework that exists today. What happens to those businesses and investments if the rules change? How do we ensure fairness for the entrepreneurs and employees who built their businesses in good faith under the current system? And what has the cannabis industry contributed to Massachusetts in terms of jobs, tax revenue, and economic activity?

Travis will provide insight into the size and scope of the industry, the regulatory environment, tax revenue generated, and the role cannabis businesses play in communities across the Commonwealth.

Come with your questions, grab a cup of coffee, and join us for a candid conversation designed to help our business community better understand the cannabis industry and the potential economic implications of changes to the current framework.

Coffee, conversation, and an opportunity to clear the air — we hope you’ll join us!
