As we’ve worked diligently to bring this to a close, the time has shown we’ve made the right decision as an organization to step away from indoor cultivation. The team has continued to do exceptional work building out the new procurement model, and I commend them for their efforts. Our continued mission is to have trusted and quality brands in the marketplace,” Dax Colwell, CEO and co-founder of New Leaf Ventures, said in a press release.
