LANSING — The Michigan Chamber of Commerce today filed an amicus brief decrying the state’s extreme and unconstitutional government overreach by the Michigan Marijuana Regulatory Agency (MRA) in its recent recall action against Viridis Laboratories, LLC. It also released the following statement from Rich Studley, president and CEO:
“As the cannabis industry grows and matures in our state, regulators should focus on ensuring Michigan is a national leader when it comes to cannabis safety, testing and innovation, not taking actions that shockingly overstep their authority. The Michigan Chamber is deeply concerned about the impact of what appears to be an extreme and unconstitutional government overreach by the MRA. The MRA’s failure to abide by clear legal tenets not only jeopardizes the plaintiffs’ business and its employees’ livelihoods, but also sets a dangerous precedent for the entire business community.”
