Nation’s Biggest Cannabis Company Owes Michigan Grower $32M In Damages

Curaleaf had also countersued Hello Farms

Michigan cannabis grower Hello Farms is set to receive $32 million after a federal court jury found earlier this week that Curaleaf, the country’s largest weed company, breached its purchase agreement. 

The ruling comes after nearly four years of battling in court between Curaleaf and the Au Gres-based grower. 

Curaleaf agreed to buy thousands of pounds of Hello Farms’ outdoor grown cannabis if its product achieved more than 12% tetrahydrocannabinol — or THC, the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis — for $1,000 a pound in 2020 and $850 a pound in 2021. 

But after acquiring just 2,000 pounds of the contracted 16,000 pounds in 2020, Curaleaf demanded to renegotiate as prices in the state’s legal industry were cratering.
