NJ CRC Board Reverses Itself And Fully Approves Curaleaf's Adult Use License Renewals After Legal Challenge

Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. CURLF CURA announced that on April 17th, the board of the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory (CRC) reversed itself and voted to approve Curaleaf's adult use cannabis licenses.

The CRC board's decision came after first voting to vacate their decision from April 13th, when they attempted to deny Curaleaf's adult use license renewals.

Curaleaf CEO Matt Darin stated, "Today's decision by the CRC board to vacate their unprecedented action last week is an incredible victory for our 500 NJ team members and vindication for what we knew all along: Curaleaf is in good standing with the CRC and has fulfilled every requirement necessary for the renewal of our licenses. I am incredibly proud of and grateful to every one of the hundreds of dedicated team members who showed up today, not just for their jobs and livelihoods, but for a better, safer cannabis industry in New Jersey."

In previously attempting not to renew Curaleaf's adult use licenses, the CRC board had disregarded the commission's staff recommendation to renew Curaleaf's adult use licenses and the fact that the company has no pending violations.

As part of the approval, Curaleaf will be providing the commission with additional information regarding its labor practices and confirm its ongoing compliance with New Jersey law.
