Marijuana store sues Haverhill, saying steep ‘impact’ fees are not justified The long-awaited legal challenge could upend the controversial local approval process. By Dan Adams Globe Staff,Updated April 7, 2021, 3:58 p.m. Email to a Friend Stem founder Caroline Pineau stands inside her unfinished Haverhill marijuana store in 2019.Jessica Rinaldi/Globe Staff Haverhill marijuana store Stem has sued its host city over “community impact” fees imposed on local cannabis companies, arguing officials have failed to explain how the steep payments are related to any negative effects caused by the presence of pot shops. If Stem is successful, the case would upend the controversial local approval process for marijuana companies in Massachusetts. That process, which involves the businesses making payments to cities and towns, is the subject of an ongoing federal investigation, and has long been derided by the industry as little more than a legal shakedown.
