The owner of a Fort Smith medical marijuana cultivation facility said he plans to appeal a Pulaski County judge's ruling that orders state regulators to take steps to fix the error it made when it granted him a license.
Bennett "Storm" Nolan, the majority owner of the cultivation facility, said he intends to appeal the ruling Circuit Judge Herb Wright issued Monday. Wright found that the state Medical Marijuana Commission wrongfully issued a license in 2020 for Nolan to operate River Valley Relief Cultivation. Wright's order said the commission should take "all steps necessary to remedy" the situation.
Wright found that the commission had acted unreasonably, unlawfully and capriciously when it awarded the license to Nolan despite problems with his application.
Nolan said Tuesday he still has his license and intends to continue operating the cultivation facility as long as the license is still in hand.
