Canna Provisions v. Bondi, R.I.P.

On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court denied certiorari in Canna Provisions, Inc. et al. v. Bondi, a high-profile lawsuit that challenged the constitutionality of the federal prohibition of intrastate (and not interstate) cannabis activity. The denial offered no reasoning; nor was it accompanied by dissents or concurrences from any of the justices—all of which is typical. The upshot is that petitioner's loss at the First Circuit Court of Appeals is final. Rest in peace, Canna Provisions.

We have been tracking and writing about this case since it was filed two years ago. We acknowledged the pedigree of David Boies and the lawyers involved, but ultimately, the effort left us uninspired. See:
