A subsidiary of multi-state marijuana company Jushi Holdings Inc., named Dalitso LLC, has filed a lawsuit in the Virginia Circuit Court of Arlington County against DoorDash, Total Wine, Grayscale Brewing, Specialty Beverage, and Coastalo. The suit alleges that these defendants have violated Virginia hemp laws by marketing and selling consumable hemp products that exceed the state's legal THC limits, specifically claiming they are selling intoxicating cannabinoid products disguised as lawful hemp.

The complaint describes the defendants' actions as a “deliberate and coordinated scheme to erode Virginia’s heavily regulated medical cannabis market” by offering potent and dangerous forms of marijuana without the mandatory safeguards, testing, or oversight required for licensed cannabis operators. It accuses the defendants of flooding Virginia’s marketplace with unregulated and illegal cannabis products, exploiting consumer confusion and gaining an unlawful competitive advantage.

Jushi is seeking a jury trial and more than $80 million in damages from the defendants to compensate for the alleged economic injury caused by the unfair competitive advantage. The lawsuit comes amid Virginia's ongoing cannabis policy challenges, where adult-use marijuana possession has been legal since 2021, but retail sales remain prohibited.

Trent Woloveck, chief strategy officer of Jushi, commented: “We should ensure that businesses that want to continue to participate in cannabis do it under what is allowed so that we can get to our end goal of normalizing the plant. However, if businesses want to continue to short cut the process, then we are going to shine a light on them.
