Craft cannabis growers want judge to reverse order that has put the industry on hold in Illinois amid lawsuit

Craft cannabis growers hope that a judge Wednesday will reverse his order that shut down the entire industry, arguing that they were unfairly shut out of the process.

The temporary restraining order comes in response to a suit filed by Sustainable Innovations Inc. and 11 other craft grow license applicants against the Illinois Department of Agriculture and its director, Jerry Costello II. The losing applicants don’t face irreparable harm, the state’s lawyers argued, because the state can give each of them the ability to obtain a license through judicial review if they show they should have gotten one.
