Greater than 85% of regulated hashish merchandise offered in Colorado’s adult-use market would possibly violate well being and labeling legal guidelines, in accordance with a current report by one of many state’s hashish operators.
Annoyed by the obvious reluctance of the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED) to check state-regulated hashish merchandise and punish these discovered to be breaking the legislation, Justin Singer, CEO of producer Ripple, requested his staffers to go to Denver-area MJ retailers on November 12 and buy the flower, shake and pre-rolls manufacturers “they might usually buy.”
The corporate then despatched unmarked, unadulterated samples – bud, pre-rolls and shake – to a state-regulated hashish laboratory to have the merchandise examined for efficiency, yeast and mould, pesticides and microbial contamination.
In keeping with the lab outcomes, solely two of the 15 merchandise bought at Denver-area retailers complied with state laws, and a few have been discovered to have harmful ranges of contaminants.
