Turning Over A New Leaf In New York? Cannabis Dispensaries Await Movement After Crucial Lawsuit Settlement
Portfolio Pulse from Joana Scopel
The New York State Cannabis Control Board (CCB) has endorsed a settlement agreement that could lead to the lifting of a court injunction blocking the opening of over 400 cannabis dispensaries. The injunction stemmed from a lawsuit by service-disabled veterans and the Coalition for Access to Regulated & Safe Cannabis, alleging unfair licensing practices by the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) and CCB. Large marijuana companies like Acreage Holdings Inc (ACRHF), Curaleaf Holdings Inc (CURLF), and Green Thumb Industries Inc (GTBIF) were involved in a similar lawsuit earlier. The settlement's details are confidential, and court approval is pending. Industry stakeholders remain cautiously optimistic about the resolution.
