The gloves are officially off! We knew there would be cannabis civil war at the 90th Legislature, but the first tactical strikes have already been launched. The leading dispensing organization for the Texas Compassionate Use Program is out for blood. So now, not only are Texas h**p businesses facing the threat of closure due to new regulations by the state, they are facing litigation from state sanctioned medical ma*****na companies who have been lobbying to shut them down. Embarrassing for Texas 💯
“Austin-based Texas Original Compassionate Cultivation has filed a lawsuit seeking to block several companies from doing business in Texas and recover damages for lost revenue. The case was moved to Texas Business Court last week by one of the defendants.”
“But the value of that license has been degraded, the company says, by “wildcat” operators in the h**p space it says are increasing THC levels beyond the legal limit and lying about it. The largely unregulated market is now competing with the highly regulated TCUP market to the detriment of its licensees, Texas Original argues.“
“The companies named in the lawsuit are Big Dan’s H**porium; Cloud Ponics; Greenbelt Botanicals/Greenbelt CBD; JTE Enterprises, doing business as Green Cross ATX, Green Cross CBD and Greenbox; Restart CBD; CBD American Shaman LLC; Southeast Farming Partners, doing business as Haygood Farms; Cookies Creative Consulting & Promotions; VIIA H**p/VIIA; and Mood/Hellomood.”
“This petition reads less like a legitimate effort to vindicate a legal right and more like a 39-page hissy fit from a company that appears to have confused a license to sell medical ma*****na with a right to control every cannabis-related product sold in Texas,” said Joseph “Jeb” Golinkin II, an attorney for Restart.
“Texas Original says it commissioned independent national labs to test the defendants’ products and can prove they are exceeding the legal limit for THC.”
