RENO, Nev. — A marijuana cultivator in Nevada has filed a lawsuit against the state accusing regulators of enforcing flawed regulations and imposing excessive fines.
The Reno Gazette-Journal reports Herbal Care LLC also claims the state illegally forced it to destroy inventory and continues to unreasonably drag out an investigation that began 17 months ago.
The Nevada Department of Taxation suspended the Reno-based firm's license in September 2018 after it said it found violations including failed record keeping, improper packaging and labeling and improper plant tagging.
Among other things, the lawsuit filed Feb. 21 seeks reimbursement for the inventory it was forced to destroy. State officials declined to comment.
