In a recent legal action, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser has taken aim at a cannabis business in Weld County for allegedly selling potent pot products that were marketed as federally legal industrial hemp. The lawsuit was filed against Gee Distributors, LLC and its owner Christopher Landon Eoff, who operated the company as CBDDY.
According to Weiser, the company is accused of illegally selling cannabis products with THC levels up to 35 times higher than the legal limit set by Congress in 2018. This led to an increase in industrial hemp companies trying to evade state regulations and taxes applicable to recreational marijuana. Weiser stated that Colorado’s legal cannabis regulations are designed to protect consumers, ensure high safety and quality standards, and prevent cannabis from falling into the hands of children.
The investigation found that CBDDY also forged or altered certificates of analysis to misrepresent its products as legal. Furthermore, many of the company’s products were improperly marketed in forms, flavors, and with imagery designed to appeal to children. Weiser made it clear that anyone who evades Colorado cannabis laws will be held accountable.
This action by Weiser shows his commitment to enforcing Colorado’s cannabis laws and ensuring the safety and well-being of consumers. It is important for businesses operating in this industry to follow state regulations and comply with federal laws in order to protect public health and prevent negative consequences such as falling into the wrong hands or causing harm through excessive potency levels.
