@kgilnack @CamargoNurys @AvaCConcepcion This is a great idea! @JulieKJohnson and I would like to submit this work for peer review on the academic side as well. We value all perspectives that can help inform the research and policy discussion.

@JulieKJohnson Thanks for your leadership on this project @JulieKJohnson! I am proud of what our team @renee_m_johnson @april_pattavina @UMASSDonahue @UMassSPHHS has done and look forward to seeing how @MA_Cannabis may use this to advance social equity.

Exciting new work with @jenwhitehill @JulieKJohnson and @SamanthaMDoonan for the @MA_Cannabis.

We did a review of data available to monitor impacts of cannabis legalization in MA on many indicators - found lots of progress and lots of opportunities for further work.

There’s lot of information about marijuana use during pregnancy. I’ve created a thread with some thoughts — would love to have a discussion. /1

@Peter_Grinspoon @renee_m_johnson @JeromeAdamsMD @HarvardHealth Yes! One takeaway from our study (the one referenced by @JeromeAdamsMD above) and others like it is the need to do more to keep potent edibles and concentrated products away from kids, especially young ones.
