The anti-trust lawsuit stems from a 2024 tip to the attorney general’s office from an Ohio cannabis industry employee, alleging “widespread shelf-space allotments.” According to Yost’s office, the investigation into the tip found multistate cannabis operators had agreed to prioritize each other’s products in Ohio dispensaries, all while reducing or even eliminating purchases from independent Ohio cannabis cultivators and processors. These deals were negotiated at a national level, the AG’s office added.
