Bonanza Cannabis Company has responded to a lawsuit against it and its parent company, C2CC. In its counterclaim, Bonanza argues that Mammoth's lawsuit is baseless and represents an improper use of the legal system to harm Bonanza and boost Mammoth's sales. Bonanza is seeking financial damages in an amount to be determined at trial.
Conlan Keller, co-founder and co-owner of Bonanza Cannabis Company, says the lawsuit's basis is entirely without merit. Bonanza Cannabis Company maintains the highest standards for quality, and that means ensuring we are 100% compliant with all Colorado regulations, including the prohibition on hemp-derived THC. To suggest otherwise is simply false and defamatory. Bonanza categorically denies the allegations in this lawsuit, and that is why we have responded with our own counterclaims."
In its complaint filed June 6, Mammoth Management (Mammoth Farms and Mammoth Manufacturing) alleges that Bonanza knowingly sold products possessing hemp-derived THC – a substance banned in Colorado and by the federal government. Furthermore, all oil purchased includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA) confirming the oil's potency, and purity and ensuring it meets all state requirements. Following Bonanza's manufacturing process, finished products are tested again before being sold to dispensaries, generating a second COA.
Upon learning of the complaint, Bonanza immediately refuted the claims and called for the company to be removed from the lawsuit, citing Bonanza's strict protocols toward testing and safety. Mammoth agreed to remove Bonanza from the complaint only if Bonanza began an extended and exclusive business relationship to purchase oil from Mammoth at a price inflated more than industry standards.
Bonanza Cannabis Company is the creator of a line of cannabis vape cartridges and edibles sold in Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada.
