CANNTRUST FALLOUT
Charges dropped mid trial for CannTrust execs
Execs caught up in CannTrusts fall from grace have had charges dropped against them midtrial, but the defense is pushing for full acquittals, reports CBC.
CannTrust came under fire with allegations that it had grown thousands of kilos of cannabis illegally and then lied to investors about it. The company lost hundreds of employees, a billion dollars in valuations as it voluntarily suspended sales. Once worth $1.5 billion, eventually CannTrust was forced into bankruptcy in March 2020.
Defense lawyer Frank Addario, who represents one of the three men, told The Canadian Press that his client “behaved legally and with integrity during his time at CannTrust.”
Former Trulieve employees file lawsuit for lack of appropriate notice
Employees let go by Trulieve have filed a class action lawsuit against the company on the grounds that not enough notice period was provided, reports MJBiz Daily.
Trulieve has let go “an unspecified number of workers” across its Midway, Monticello and Quincy cultivation locations. The lawsuit has been filed on behalf of a number of employees and claims workers were not given the full 60 days required by law.
Trulieves attorney denies the claims, saying the terminations were in compliance with the law, saying “Where possible, Trulieve offered impacted employees new positions at the same site or at other sites in the area…Where transfers were not feasible or accepted, employees were offered severance packages”.
PARDON ME
The US has expunged almost 2 million cannabis convictions since 2018
Since 2018 almost 2 million US cannabis convictions have been pardoned or expunged according to a report by NORML.
This year Biden became the first President to issue mass pardons to low level cannabis possession convictions, providing relief to an estimated 6,557 citizens. States have been running their own pardon programmes since 2018 when Nevada issued blanket pardons to an estimated 15,000 people.
The issue has strong bipartisan voter support with a recent survey finding 74% of likely voters support cannabis conviction expungements with majority support from Democrats, Republicans and Independents.
