An Ohio medical marijuana grower filed a lawsuit against state regulators alleging that government overseers have been hamstringing the MMJ program’s growth, despite clear demand for more business services.According to Law360com, Fire Rock sued the state Department of Commerce over its failure to either grant or deny an application filed in February for the cultivation operation to expand its capacity by another 3,000 square feet.
The agency notified Fire Rock in June that it was taking no action on the application, which led the company to sue on the grounds that the department has a clear responsibility to act one way or the other on the application.
