There are more than 20 different MedMen cannabis retail locations around places like California, Nevada, Florida, Arizona, Illinois, and New York.
They've got disruptive and innovative cannabis advertising campaigns and that really helps to set them apart from the competition that is out there, the thousands of different cannabis companies that are producing one product or another. They have become one of the most well known cannabis retailers in the country but that doesn't mean they haven't faced their fair share of problems along the way, and still have troubles even now.
Just recently, the company has filed a lawsuit in Pasadena after an application for a cannabis dispensary had been denied. They argue that the decision to decline their permit was arbitrary, unlawful, and capricious, and they are looking to have the court reverse the decision.
Those who apply for one permit or another will find that despite following everything that they need to, in submitting required documents and paying fees etc, that still doesn't guarantee them an approval. When they get a denial they can only be left wondering why and fighting for some transparency for the process, which has been significantly lacking as various jurisdictions have moved forward with legalization of cannabis.
The government has been accused of fraud with regard to the cannabis licensing process and farmers, cannabis dispensary operators, and others in the business, see it to be a clear violation of their rights that the government won't permit them to do business for any just reason.
If they need to deny so many individuals the freedom to do cannabis business then that should signal that they've made an error in allocating too few licenses or permits to be obtained from those who are interested in getting into the industry.
