Protecting MA Cannabis: Ryan Dominguez on Question 8

The Fight to Stop the Repeal with Massachusetts’ Ryan Dominguez

A crucial conversation on the future of cannabis legalization and social equity in the Commonwealth is here. On Episode 22 of The Hybrid podcast, former state regulators Shawn Collins and Erik Gundersen sit down with Ryan Dominguez, founder and Executive Director of the Massachusetts Cannabis Coalition and chair of the Stop the Repeal campaign.

The discussion covers the November ballot initiative (Question 8) seeking to repeal adult-use cannabis legalization in Massachusetts. A vote in favor of repeal risks unwinding ten years of progress, rolling back possession limits, threatening over 20,000 jobs, and dismantling vital community reinvestment initiatives, including the Cannabis Social Equity Trust Fund and foundational restorative justice programs that support individuals impacted by prohibition.
