Nevada Cannabis Board Investigates Dispensaries For Tainted Products

The Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board has launched an inspection of three Las Vegas-based dispensaries alleged to have sold contaminated flower.

The flower failed laboratory testing for yeast and mold, coliforms, as well as Enterobacteriaceae and Aspergillus. The Department of Taxation and CCB banned the sale of Cherry OG F3 in March.

Despite the CCB’s instruction to destroy or return the cannabis to the cultivator, stores continued to sell the product during May, CCB said.

The board opted to investigate the following businesses accused of selling nearly 375 grams of tainted product between May 19 and June 29:

•             Waveseer of Las Vegas (Jenny’s Dispensary)

•             Paradise Wellness Center (Las Vegas ReLeaf)

•             Desert Aire Wellness (Sahara Wellness)

There have been no illnesses reported by customers, according to the CCB.

In addition, customers are called on to check any Cherry OG products for the source package #1A404030000076F000006649.

Meanwhile, 4Front Ventures Corp. FFNT FFNTF recently managed to smooth out all legacy regulatory issues concerning its Georgetown, Massachusetts-based Mission facility.

The Phoenix, Arizona-based cannabis facility operator came to an understanding with the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission by agreeing to pay a $350,000 fine.

The regulatory body accused 4Front’s Healthy Pharms, which was rebranded as Mission, for the use of unpermitted pesticides during the cannabis cultivation process.
