Verano accused in lawsuit of illegal interstate marijuana trafficking
Illinois-based multistate operator Verano Holdings is accused in a lawsuit of illegally shuttling marijuana from its home state to Arkansas.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the allegations of illegal interstate marijuana shipments stem from cannabis MSO Harvest Health & Recreation’s attempted acquisition of Verano, a deal that fell through in March 2020.
The lawsuit, filed Monday in Colorado District Court, targets dozens of cannabis executives and companies, including Verano CEO George Archos.
