New Jersey fined some of the US’s largest marijuana companies for violating rules put in place when the state started sales of recreational pot in April.
Curaleaf Holdings Inc. and four other dispensaries with locations in New Jersey processed almost 3,200 recreational sales during hours that should have been reserved for medical patients, according to state cannabis commission documents obtained through an Open Public Records Act request.
