Veteran Juan Finch Jr. Exposes Nuera Cannabis for their part in JB Pritzker’s social equity license program delay

Veteran Juan Finch Jr. Exposes Nuera Cannabis (formerly numed) for their part in JB Pritzker’s social equity license program delay Chicago, IL - Juan Finch Jr., a retired United States Navy veteran, has taken legal action against Nuera Cannabis, a prominent player in the cannabis industry, for breach of contract and fraud. Finch, who was initially interviewed by Laura Jaramillo Bernal of Mariworks LLC and Nuera Cannabis (Brands made are Nuera, Interstate 420, Midweek Friday, Riseau, and Alchemy) to apply for a cannabis license in Illinois, has come forward to expose the company's unethical practices in pursuit of profit. After discovering that one of the key requirements for the license was being a state resident for at least five years, Finch was informed that the law of JB Pritzker’s Social Equity program was deemed unconstitutional. However, Nuera Cannabis, led by CEO Bob Fitzsimmons, orchestrated and funded a legal battle against Mario Treto Jr. of the State of Illinois using Juan Finch Jr(in exchange for a promised dispensary license) as their pawn and face to challenge this ruling, causing delays for license winners and hindering minorities from using their licenses in the state. As a bisexual Black veteran, Finch is committed to promoting inclusivity and ensuring equal opportunities for minorities in the cannabis industry. He has decided to take a stand against Nuera Cannabis and shed light on their exploitative practices. The case, filed in Cook County Circuit Court as 2023L008973, seeks to hold Nuera Cannabis accountable for all of their actions and seek compensation for damages incurred. Additionally, there is a group assembling a class seeking to get compensation for alleged allegations of sexism, fraud, and racism within the company.
