A Stone County Circuit Court judge ruled Wednesday that the sale of a medical marijuana dispensary can move forward after the seller tried to back out of the transaction in 2020.

Circuit Court Judge Holly Meyer also said in her order that businessmen Ryan Hansen of Benton County and Jonathan Reeves of Washington County can ask for a hearing for damages in connection with the profits they would have made if the owner of Fiddler’s Green Medical Marijuana Dispensary in Mountain View had sold the company. 

The sale will be pending approval of the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission, Meyer’s order said.

Fiddler’s Green’s owner Lisa Murphy of Stone County agreed to sell the dispensary for $3.8 million, according to court documents. Gregory Kent Thomas of Stone County also is an owner of Fiddler’s Green and was named as a defendant. 

Hansen and Reeves “are Marine Corps veterans who after their service to our country started Liberty Defense Group to provide security for the cannabis industry,” their attorney, Baxter Drennon of the Little Rock office of Hall Booth Smith, said in an email to Arkansas Business. 

To expand their business, Hansen and

Medical marijuana dispensary The Landing serves the Cincinnati area with prescription cannabis at a new dispensary in Norwood. The dispensary carries a variety of products, including vapes, edibles, and flower from its own Firelands Scientific brand as well as other brands. “Every single batch of product that we harvest is not only tracked and traced down to every ounce of the oil that comes out of the product, but it’s also sent to a third party lab for potency, purity, and quality testing purposes,” says Firelands Scientific Founder and CEO Jeff McCourt. “The tightness of the regulations in Ohio as to the quality of the products is really like no other consumer product market.” This strict testing protocol ensures that each batch of Firelands Scientific product is accurately measured for the amount of THC to allow for proper dosing and overall quality of the product.

McCourt says the fully vertical cannabis company has a mission to provide patients with a variety of premium medical cannabis products at affordable prices. Firelands’s dispensaries are a way to provide access for patients. Each location has its own unique touches and pays tribute to the local community, a factor that motivated McCourt to enter the

A survey from EO Care, Inc. found that 88% of medical cannabis consumers said medical cannabis reduced their use of prescription drugs, alcohol, or both. Another 51% said they would be likely or very likely to use cannabis if it were offered by their health plan.  

The survey, which included 1,027 Americans from states where cannabis was legal for either medical or adult use, also found that 65% of respondents would feel more comfortable using cannabis for medical purposes if it were screened and dosed by a clinician.  

In all, 18% of respondents had consumed cannabis for health reasons in the past year, 19% had consumed cannabis recreationally, and 14% had consumed it for both purposes. The top three reasons for the respondents’ consuming cannabis were anxiety, pain, and sleep. 

In a statement, Sean Collins, co-founder and CEO of EO Care, noted that “Finding clinical guidance for medicinal cannabis is difficult because most doctors lack the knowledge and retail dispensaries are not equipped to provide medical advice.” 

“As a result we have tens of millions of Americans using cannabis for health reasons without guidance on specific product recommendations, dosage amounts, possible

Pharmacies in Georgia last week began selling medical cannabis products to patients, becoming the first in the U.S. to participate in medical cannabis sales, CNN reports. State officials had approved the regulations earlier this month, paving the way for independent pharmacies to sell low-THC cannabis oils allowed under the state’s medical cannabis program.   

Robins Pharmacy, Omega Pharmacy, and the Allen Pharmacy Group are the first three pharmacies in the state to get licenses to sell the products. State lawmakers had approved the law allowing pharmacies to sell the products in 2019, but it took years for the regulations to get final approval.  

Dr. Ankit Patel, of Robins Pharmacy, told CNN he’s been “excited” about the possibility of selling the products “for about for years now” and that he had applied for the program “immediately.” 

To get state approval, pharmacies submit an application and are inspected by the state drugs and narcotics agency. Inspectors investigate the store’s security, question the staff about how much they know about the products, and about how to handle the products, before the state will grant them the license.

New York’s Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) has stopped holding administrative trials for businesses accused of selling cannabis without a license, The City reports. The last such trial was held October 20 and OCM told The City the pause was due to a lack of resources and that it did not know when the trials would reconvene. 

According to OCM, as of last week, the agency said it has issued 270 enforcement actions across the state since June and seized an estimated $45 million worth of illicit cannabis. Since June, OCM has held 26 administrative trials and levied $220,000 in fines, the report says. Decisions are still pending in 10 other cases. Two attorneys representing with cases pending before the OCM told The City they had received notifications of withdrawal.     

OCM Executive Director Chris Alexander has publicly expressed reservations about the agency’s enforcement of unlicensed cannabis shops, saying during a meeting with community boards earlier this month that “It was never OCM’s mission to do this type of enforcement.” 

“I want to be very clear,” Alexander said during the meeting, “that the strategy has not worked.”
