“Instead of investing to retain current employees or support former employees through their transition following a recent sizable layoff, Cresco is spending money on lawyers to monitor and sue its former employees for finding new jobs,” spokeswoman Rosie Mattio said in a statement. “This move is not only distasteful to their former employees looking to continue their careers in the cannabis industry, but also a total waste of Cresco’s capital and resources.”

Getting spicy at the top of the corporate cannabis ladder!

This is a great example of why non-compete clauses are anti-worker, and why you should grow-your-own (or find your local home-grower). If they weren't playing lawyer wars maybe they could drop their prices a little?

Fuck Cresco.

This is why you don't sign a non-compete.

And also why non-competes need to be illegal.
