The Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission is under an unwelcome microscope, as drama between suspended Commission Chair Shannon O'Brien and state Treasurer Deb Goldberg overshadows the work of regulating a $5 billion industry.

We talk with Ava Callender Concepcion, who's serving as chair in O'Brien's absence, on the challenges faced by the commission.
