Back for his second appearance — and holding nothing back — Dr. Jeff Rawson returns to dive deep into the state of cannabis in Massachusetts with unmatched passion and candor. In this episode, he breaks down the recent move by the Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) to suspend Assured Labs, one of the state’s official cannabis testing facilities, and why that decision is shaking up the industry. Jeff also sheds light on the regulations that are outdated, the urgent changes that could happen within the next year, and the protections that are still missing for consumers and patients.

Armed with his own testing results and independent lab confirmations, Jeff presents hard evidence of misleading THC percentages on pre-rolls and edibles sold in licensed dispensaries — and contrasts them with products from smoke shops, some of which contained zero detectable THC despite their labels. He walks us through slides showing just how far off the claimed potency can be from the reality, and explains what these inaccuracies mean for public trust, product safety, and overall industry health. From calling out dishonest practices to offering a roadmap for reform, Dr. Rawson paints a clear picture of what’s broken — and what needs to change — to make Massachusetts’ cannabis industry truly transparent, accountable, and consumer-focused.
