BREAKING NEWS (exclusive); Leah Cooke Daniels, of Massachusetts adult and medical use license applicant Alchemy League, held in jail after being arrested following shootout and attempted un-aliving
Leah Cooke Daniels, a license applicant within the adult and medical use industry in Massachusetts –and owner of infamous firm Alchemy League (who joined an infamous anti-equity trade group, the CDA, during a major community boycott)– was arrested in March of 2024, and held without bail, for attempting to un-alive someone with a loaded weapon (possessed illegally).
The company has a number of provisional license applications in front of state regulators, and, in 2020, Daniels and her wife infamously interrupted a CCC meeting in an attempt to pressure regulators to license Daniels (with the help of a woman named Maggie Kinsella) to license Daniels despite a prior violent criminal incident involving a knife.
If Daniels can be license by the CCC while in jail and facing these charges remains unclear.
The next hearing in the shocking case is this Friday (6/7/24) at Boston Municipal Court – Roxbury. The hearing starts at 9am, ET.

LEAH DANIELS, FOUNDER & CEO
Veteran and life-long resident of Roxbury, Leah Daniels is the Founder of Alchemy League & Green Industry Funded Training (GIFT). With a background in construction, contracting, compliance, and green energy, Leah has been known to advocate for disenfranchised people in her field. To increase equity and opportunity for those in the green energy and construction space, she founded GIFT several years ago, funded by the state of Massachusetts with graduates of the program still reaping the benefits of the training they received through the program.
In 2017, Leah turned her attention to a new “green” enterprise, starting Alchemy League, a cannabis brand she hoped would one day increase patient’s access to plant medicine, increase equity and opportunity in the industry for veterans, minorities, and those disproportionally targeted by the war on drugs, and, finally, support individuals struggling with addiction to explore cannabis as an alternative or “exit drug.”
Today, Leah is the sole owner of Alchemy League, with licenses from the state of MA to dispense recreational and medical cannabis. To help other “economic empowerment” and “social equity” candidates striving to enter the industry in MA, Leah is also launching GIFT (Green Industry Funded Training) a mentorship and training program now for “green” (cannabis) entrepreneurs and businesses. Alchemy League is the first mentee of the program, with Revolutionary Clinics as its first mentor assisting Alchemy League’s team with opening its doors this summer!
