Thursday, October 26, 2023

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Oct. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A coalition of U.S. cannabis operators and investors working in state-legal medical and adult-use cannabis markets today filed a lawsuit against U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland. The coalition, represented by the law firm Boies Schiller Flexner, seeks to enjoin the federal government from enforcing the Controlled Substances Act in a manner that interferes with the intrastate cultivation, manufacture, possession, and distribution of cannabis, pursuant to state law. The lawsuit asserts that the federal government has no basis for enforcing the Controlled Substances Act against intrastate, state-regulated cannabis operations.

Key Points: 
  • The lawsuit asserts that the federal government has no basis for enforcing the Controlled Substances Act against intrastate, state-regulated cannabis operations.
  • The lawsuit seeks to confirm the rights of Massachusetts and other states to regulate cannabis within their borders, and to confirm the corresponding limits on the federal government's power to regulate commerce.
  • Absent the relief sought in this lawsuit, Plaintiffs and other state-regulated cannabis operators will continue to suffer severe harms.
  • The result is that many cannabis businesses are suffering, people are losing their jobs and individual wealth is being destroyed.
