The New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department on Tuesday filed a petition seeking a preliminary injunction against Sawmill Sweet Leaf, LLC, alleging the company has been diverting cannabis out of state and manufacturing cannabis concentrate without a permit.
In a statement, Linda Trujillo, superintendent of the Regulation and Licensing Department, said “A key component of compliance actions is the ability to suspend licenses immediately if they pose an instant threat to the health, safety and lives of consumers.”
“While the licensee in question will still receive due process through a formal hearing, we can now ensure New Mexicans are protected from dangerous products or a life-threatening explosion in the interim.” — Trujillo in a press release
Regulators are accusing Sawmill Sweet Leaf of operating an unlicensed closed-loop extraction system at its facility in Albuquerque. The business does hold a Cannabis Manufacturer II license which allows it to manufacture edibles or topical cannabis products but does not allow for any type of extraction.
Evidence obtained by the Cannabis Control Division alleges that the products being sold by Sawmill Sweet Leaf out of state have not been tested.
