A group of cannabis companies, including Verano Holdings Corp. (OTC:VRNOF), is challenging federal cannabis prohibition in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. They seek oral arguments against the DOJ's motion to dismiss, arguing that the federal enforcement oversteps its bounds on matters that should be regulated within the state's jurisdiction. The DOJ justifies prohibition under the Commerce Clause, citing out-of-state tourism boosted by legal cannabis markets. The outcome could impact federal enforcement and the path toward legalization.
