FALL RIVER Local marijuana company, Northeast Alternatives, asked a Suffolk County Superior Court civil judge to expedite a hearing for a second preliminary injunction against the Cannabis Control Commission to compel a decision on the licensing of its more than $3 million facility in Lakeville.
Ironically, that hearing for Northeast Alternatives is set for April 20, the same day jury selection begins in former Mayor Jasiel Correia II s trial in Boston, which includes alleged extortion allegations of marijuana companies.
It’s also the day of the unofficial marijuana holiday called 4/20 that celebrates cannabis use and its legalization in some parts of the country.
