State Senator Michael Moore on Cannabis Lounges

State Senator Michael Moore discussed recent legislative activities in Massachusetts. He began by clarifying that the long delay in establishing cannabis lounges was due to the dysfunction and inaction of the Cannabis Control Commission (CCC), not the legislature. He detailed a new bill aimed at reforming the CCC. The Senator then outlined key items in a supplemental budget, including funding for sheriff's departments, World Cup security, and MassHealth. He also explained why Massachusetts rescinded its past calls for a constitutional convention, citing fears of unintended consequences. Finally, he shared insights from a recent trip to Europe with the German Marshall Fund to discuss artificial intelligence regulation and concluded by answering a constituent's question about testing for elderly drivers.
