More than 85% of regulated cannabis products sold in Colorado’s adult-use market might violate health and labeling laws, according to a recent report by one of the state’s cannabis operators.
Frustrated by the apparent reluctance of the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED) to test state-regulated cannabis products and punish those found to be breaking the law, Justin Singer, CEO of manufacturer Ripple, asked his staffers to visit Denver-area MJ retailers on November 12 and purchase the flower, shake and pre-rolls brands “they would normally purchase.”
The company then sent unmarked, unadulterated samples – bud, pre-rolls and shake – to a state-regulated cannabis laboratory to have the products tested for potency, yeast and mold, pesticides and microbial contamination.
According to the lab results, only two of the 15 products purchased at Denver-area retailers complied with state regulations, and some were found to have dangerous levels of contaminants.
