The Colorado Attorney General's Office alleges a former Greeley-based cannabis company illegally sold products classified as industrial hemp, though the products contained THC levels far above the .3% maximum allowed for industrial hemp products.
The lawsuit alleges CBDDY — which was located in Greeley and operated mostly online while in Colorado — sold edible cannabis products, smokeable cannabis flower and high-THC concentrates, some of which contained 35 times the legal amount of THC. The lawsuit was filed June 11 in Weld District Court against Gee Distributors — which was doing business under the name CBDDY — and its owner Christopher Landon Eoff.
"Colorado's legal cannabis regulations are designed to protect consumers, ensure the highest safety and quality standards and keep cannabis out of the hands of kids," Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiner said in a news release Tuesday. "In this case, the defendant recklessly sold products that were, in some cases, more potent than even what is sold in state-licensed dispensaries with little regard for requirements like lab testing and age verification. As this action shows, we will hold accountable anyone who evades Colorado cannabis laws."
This case is the first enforcement action under Senate Bill 22-205, which "prohibits the chemical modification, conversion or synthetic derivation of intoxicating tetrahydrocannabinol isomers that originate from industrial hemp or may be synthetically derived."
