Could Massachusetts roll back cannabis legalization?
Question 8 would end recreational cannabis sales and change possession laws. I look at who's behind the measure, what it would mean for MA residents.

Why are so many doctors still uncomfortable talking about cannabis, especially with older patients?
I joined Catherine Goldberg on Senior Savvy Cannabis to talk about what doctors often weren’t taught. https://t.co/bZFQTFPTVm

I went to Spain expecting great food, beautiful architecture and maybe a little time at the beach. I did not expect to find cannabis stores seemingly everywhere in Barcelona. I wrote about what I saw in my latest Substack. https://t.co/nD2sTJsSCj

Human #trafficking and #addiction are deeply intertwined. Traffickers use drugs and withdrawal to control victims, while survivors may turn to substances to cope with unbearable trauma. https://t.co/XdHoc41MiT

I really enjoyed joining Sara on Planted to talk about what it actually means to age well. We discussed why living longer is only part of the goal. Quality of life matters too. @SaraMPayan

I recently saw James Taylor perform, and I was deeply moved when he spoke openly about his addiction and recovery. I have been in recovery from prescription opioid addiction for 20 years, and I know how difficult it can be to talk about this. https://t.co/H3UWSDFalH

At a James Taylor concert I went to on July 4th, he spoke openly about addiction and how grateful he is to be in recovery. Most people are still afraid to speak about it. Read my latest Substack for more. https://t.co/Qm6b9Le9dg
