The subject of the state’s first public recall of a cannabis product – who recently made allegations of retaliation and “selective enforcement” against the Office of Cannabis Management – sued the state agency on Wednesday.

Jenny Argie, one of New York’s first licensed cannabis processors, is seeking immediate relief and an injunction in Albany Supreme Court after the OCM pulled her products from shelves and issued a stop-work order at her Hudson Valley facility after finding she used an unauthorized method to make her products.

Argie claims the OCM acted in “retaliatory, arbitrary and capricious” ways, and said her company will go out of business by the end of March if the stop-work order and quarantine on her products are not lifted, according to documents shared with NY Cannabis Insider.
