New Jersey cannabis regulators will allow Curaleaf to renew its recreational license, vacating an earlier decision
inquirer.com/news/curaleaf-new-jersey-recreational-marijuana-sales-license-crc-20230417.html
New Jersey cannabis regulators will allow Curaleaf to renew its ...
Quick Glance: Curaleaf will be allowed to renew its recreational license in New Jersey, overturning a prior judgment.
  • The decision comes after the Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC) board stripped the company of its authorization to serve recreational clients in the state during a meeting last week.

  • Darin claims that if the earlier judgment of the board had been implemented, it would have had a "ripple effect" on New Jersey's cannabis market, from product availability to cost.

  • Houenou, along with commissioners Maria Del Cid-Kosso, Sam Delgado, and Kristin Nash, approved the motion to overturn the board's previous decision and extend the company's recreational license.

  • According to Houenou, the vote rendered Curaleaf's prior motion for a stay of the verdict moot.
