Harvest Inc., the beleaguered marijuana producer with big problems in Pennsylvania, has even bigger problems in the Buckeye State.
The company is under investigation by the Ohio Department of Commerce, which has placed all of Harvest’s dispensary licenses on hold, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
In documents obtained by the newspaper on Tuesday, officials said Harvest intentionally misled regulators when it claimed its Ohio operations were owned and controlled by an African American woman. By stating that Harvest Grows LLC was majority-owned by a member of an “economically disadvantaged group,” Harvest scored higher than other applicants and was awarded one of 12 potentially lucrative licences to grow cannabis.
