In the complaint, filed Thursday in Albany County Supreme court, the coalition argues unconstitutional actions that put New Yorkers' health and safety at risk, writes Syracuse.com.
Syracuse.com 寫道，在週四在奧爾巴尼縣最高法院提交的投訴中，該聯盟認為使紐約人的健康和安全處於危險之中的違憲行動。
The group alleges that both OCM and the Cannabis Control Board (CCB) violated the legalization law when they reserved the first 150 adult-use retail licenses for social equity applicants. CARSC is now asking a judge to order state lawmakers to open up licensing for all retail dispensary applicants immediately.
該集團指稱 OCM 和大麻管制委員會（CCB）均違反了合法化法律，當他們為社會平權申請人預留了首 150 個成人使用的零售許可證時。CARSC 現在要求法官命令州立法者立即為所有零售藥房申請人開放許可證。
What is CARSC?
什麼是汽車服務中心？
The coalition describes itself as an "unincorporated trade association" comprised of organizations and physicians whose practices were negatively affected because of the state's "neglect" of its medical marijuana program and parties that were seeking to acquire a dispensary license.
該聯盟將自己描述為一個「非法人制的貿易協會」，由組織和醫生組成，這些組織和醫生的做法受到負面影響，因為該州對其醫療大麻計劃以及尋求獲得藥房許可證的各方的「忽視」。
According to Syracuse.com, at least four large cannabis companies are part of the group, including Acreage Holdings (OTCQX:ACRHF), Curaleaf Holdings Inc (OTCQX:CURLF), Green Thumb Industries Inc (OTCQX:GTBIF), and PharmaCann.
根據 Syracuse.com 的資料，至少有四家大型大麻公司屬於集團，包括面積控股（OTCQX：ACRHF），庫拉利夫控股公司（OTCQX：CURLF），綠拇指工業股份有限公司（OTCQX：GTBIF）和藥局安。
As per a memo filed with the lawsuit, the regulatory cannabis boards "overstepped their rule-making authority," and as a result, it "indefinitely postponed the licensing of the hundreds of additional dispensaries necessary to satisfy consumer demand and to displace the illicit markets."
根據向訴訟提交的備忘錄，監管大麻委員會「超越了其制定規則的權力」，因此，它「無限期地推遲了滿足消費者需求並取代非法市場所需的數百個額外藥房的許可。」
"Rather than perform the tasks required by the MRTA – which would promote a safe and regulated cannabis industry for medical patients and adult-use consumers alike – CCB and OCM have improperly assumed the role of the Legislature to impose their own policies over those of New York's elected officials and, by extension, their constituents," the lawsuit alleges.
「與其執行 MRTA 所要求的任務-這將促進一個安全和受管制的大麻行業為醫療患者和成年人使用的消費者一樣-建行和 OCM 不正確地承擔立法機關的作用，對紐約的民選官員施加自己的政策，以及通過擴展，他們的選民，」訴訟指稱。
