For a supposedly "controversial" sector, legal cannabis has been refreshingly transparent and light on (actual) scandal, especially compared to, say, finance.

CannTrust Holdings is a licensed cannabis producer in Canada; It's a popular stock that's seen 2019 highs of CA$14.87 (US$11.24) a share…
And those shares have slid 56% over the past month because of a mounting scandal.
There are $40 million worth of CannTrust products involved – and countless millions more in capital in play here.
