Massachusetts marijuana regulators have fined three companies a total of $800,000 for various infractions.
The Cannabis Control Commission levied the fines against Garden Remedies Inc., Healthy Pharms Inc., and Acreage Holdings Inc., according to The Telegram & Gazette.
Garden Remedies, which operates a recreational and medical dispensary in Marlborough, was fined $200,000 for using pesticides and trying to cover up their use by falsifying invoices.
Garden Remedies said in a statement that it fired the employees involved — whose actions were unknown to the executive team.
Regulators also fined Healthy Pharms $350,000 for pesticide use over several periods from July 2018 to February 2019, according to the commission.
