Two cannabiz lawsuits allege public corruption

In recent years, legalization opponents have used racketeering (RICO) lawsuits to go after cannabis businesses. By arguing that PotCos are engaged in criminal conspiracies, these suits can bring potent legal weapons, such as the threat of asset seizure, to bear against defendants. While the suits against cannabis companies generally haven't been successful, a couple have been watching closely and have now filed RICO suits of their own.Law360, MJBiz
