A licensed operator of 14 cannabis stores in Ontario, including one in Beeton will pay a penalty of $100,000 for pursuing and accepting prohibited payments from licensed cannabis producers.
The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario concluded that between January 2021 and July 2023, Cannabis Xpress entered into agreements or arrangements with at least 61 Licensed Producers.
Owners of Cannabis Xpress initially appealed the decision but have since withdrawn its appeal, acknowledging that certain data agreements effectively influenced the company to purchase specific products.
