There were a lot of major changes this year when it comes to legal weed in Massachusetts. We saw a huge increase in licensed cannabis businesses, including the first recreational delivery licenses, a groundbreaking lawsuit that could shape the way the state’s marijuana industry functions, and the reemergence of the conversation around cannabis in sports.

Joining Brit to break down all this year's top pot stories is Boston Globe cannabis reporter Dan Adams. From his weekly newsletter “This Week In Weed" to his most recent overview of what has happened since Mass. legalized pot five years ago, Dan has continued to give detailed coverage of all the biggest moves in Massachusetts cannabis.
