Class-action lawsuit planned for tainted marijuanna

A Halifax lawyer says it’ll be months before a judge decides whether to grant class-action status to a lawsuit he has launched over contaminated medical marijuanna.

Ray Wagner is suing Canopy Growth and its subsidiary Mettrum over medical marijuanna that was recalled because of pesticide contamination. Wagner says the lead plaintiff suffered severe nausea and vomiting for six months while taking Mettrum products to deal with symptoms of an injury.
