NECANN Awards please consider nominating “The Young Jurks” for best podcast and best news source. Awards that we’ve won in the past, we would love your support once again to get more of our coverage heard. I’ve also been nominated for “lifetime achievement” several times in the past and never won it. Which is totally fine last year we suggested some others that won! You might want to consider nominating two who we lost for that one, “Lorna McMurrey” and/or “Michael Malta”! http://bit.ly/NECANN_CCA 

OSHA settles with Trulieve on Lorna McMurrey death. We read a statement from McMurrey's co-worker, Danny Carson and speak to a relative of Lorna McMurrey, Alisha Nichol.

Under the agreement, Trulieve will undertake a study to determine whether ground cannabis dust is required to be classified as a "hazardous chemical" in the occupational setting, according to OSHA regulations.  Work on the study is to be complete by May 29, 2023.

Pending the outcome of the study, Trulieve will design and implement a temporary information and training program that alerts employees to potential allergic reactions they might experience working with ground cannabis dust in an occupational setting.  The program will include information about steps employees should take if they experience symptoms of allergies related to ground cannabis dust.  Work on that program is already underway.
