SUMMARY:Taking on the Cannabis Industry and Winning - Patrick Kenneally
DESCRIPTION:Patrick Kenneally successfully sued the cannabis industry in McHenry County\, Illinois. As a result\, cannabis dispensaries are now required to warn customers of the negative health consequences with in-store signage of the mental-health dangers associated with cannabis use\, including psychosis\, depression\, and suicidal ideation. Cannabis businesses are also required to scrub their marketing and website of any suggestion that their products have medical benefits. \nMr. Kenneally believes more lawsuits are needed to protect people from the cannabis industry’s predatory practices.
