Pot Giant Denies Using Political Influence To Regain Its New Jersey Cannabis License In Record Time
Portfolio Pulse from Nina Zdinjak
Curaleaf (OTCQX:CURLF) is suspected of using political connections to reverse the NJ Cannabis Regulatory Commission's (CRC) decision to deny its license renewal for cannabis cultivation and sales. The CRC initially denied the renewal due to Curaleaf's closure of a growing facility, lack of transparency, and conflicts with unionization. However, the decision was reversed in a special emergency meeting after an appeal by former state Attorney General Christopher Porrino.
