A New Jersey medical marijuana company gained back some control of its operations Wednesday when a court ruled that the cannabis giant who invested in it and then allegedly tried to take control must take some steps back.
MPX NJ, which received a license in 2018 to grow marijuana in Pleasantville and dispense it in Atlantic City, filed a suit in the Superior Court of Monmouth County last week against iAnthus. The license holder claimed iAnthus has hijacked its operations after investing $10 million, attempting to negotiate deals with state and local officials and undertake unauthorized construction at the growing facility.
