MJ Biz report
The former operator of a Colorado company that allegedly sold potent cannabis products online under the guise they were federally compliant hemp has been permanently barred from the state’s marijuana and hemp industries.
That’s according to Colorado Attorney General Philip Weiser, who last year sued Christopher Landon Eoff and his Greeley-based Gee Distributors, which operated under the business name CBDDY.
Weiser’s lawsuit alleged violations of the state Consumer Protection Act, according to court documents.
According to Weiser, a state investigation found that CBDDY’s THCA flower and other allegedly hemp-derived products were in fact marijuana.
CBDDY “falsified lab results to misrepresent the THC content of his products, failed to verify the age of his customers, and marketed products in ways designed to appeal to children,” Weiser said.
As part of a settlement, Eoff “will be permanently barred from operating any cannabis businesses or any other businesses in related industries in” Colorado, according to Weiser.
In return, Colorado will forgo collecting a $820,000 fine – in part because Eoff, who has since relocated to Arkansas, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protections in January, court records show.
