Medicinal cannabis company Montu and its cannabis clinic is enmeshed in another controversy, this time involving the jerseys of players for the Dolphins NRL team.

The Brisbane-based Dolphins used white tape to cover up their front-of-jersey sponsorship for Alternaleaf, Montu’s telehealth clinic, during their game in Darwin on Friday night.

But the remedy came unstuck as humid conditions caused the tape to unpeel from some players’ jerseys by the end of their round seven game against the Parramatta Eels.

The last-minute decision to tape over the logo came in the same week the TGA launched Federal Court of Australia proceedings against Montu, its CEO and Alternaleaf.
