US (OK): Grower shut down following June embargo and recall

Graves Farm Organics has been suspended for failing to meet state testing requirements and other violations endangering public health and safety.

On July 29, 2024, the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA) inspected the processor's facility. The inspection resulted in the issuance of an Emergency Order of Summary Suspension and Embargo.

"There is no room in Oklahoma's medical marijuana program for operators who disregard the law and endanger public health and safety. We work diligently behind the scenes so patients can trust the marijuana they purchase at dispensaries has been properly tested and is safe for consumption. Regulations are in place for a reason – when operators cut corners, patients suffer," said OMMA Executive Director Adria Berry.

According to the Emergency Order of Summary Suspension and Embargo:

  • During the July 29 inspection, OMMA discovered the licensed premises was unsanitary, unkept and unsafe for the processing of medical marijuana products.
  • During the July 29 inspection, OMMA identified containers of untagged and untraceable wholesale medical marijuana/medical marijuana product.
  • During the inspection, OMMA found medical marijuana/medical marijuana products that were tagged but reported as zero inventory in the state's seed-to-sale tracking system.
  • Graves Farm Organics LLC's failure to properly tag and track medical marijuana/medical marijuana product and failure to comply with the mandatory reporting requirement poses an imminent public health and safety risk.
  • Graves Farm Organics LLC violated state law by creating production batches, testing the production batches, creating more product and increasing the production batches after testing.
  • Graves Farm Organics LLC's business practices are an immediate and inherent danger to public health, safety and welfare.
