OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - Cease and desist letters have been issued to 12 stores that carry THC-containing products in Nebraska from the state attorney general’s office on Monday.
According to AG Mike Hilgers’ office, the letters went to businesses in Auburn, Beatrice, Columbus, Plattsmouth, Schuyler, Tecumseh, and York.
The letters were issued as the AG’s office believes many of the THC-containing products being sold “misrepresent the concentrations and types of THC contained within those products.”
The state believes the lack of proper labeling means the stores are being deceptive and/or unsafe, and possibly committing crimes by selling those products.
This includes several cannabinoids being sold that are synthetic schedule I substances.
The stores are requested by the AG’s office to cease all sales of THC-containing goods to avoid litigation.
The office is demanding each store sign a document indicating their “Assurance of Voluntary Compliance,” and if they do not, the stores will be litigated and could face penalties and fees to the “fullest extent allowed by law.
“We have now put every store on notice of the unlawful and illegal products being sold. When necessary, we will seek penalties to the fullest extent of the law and will refer for criminal prosecution. Many stores have come to the table to resolve these enforcement efforts,” stated Hilgers.
The stores could also put their tobacco licenses at risk. Part of the state’s investigation uncovered the sale of marijuana, psilocin, and psilocin analogues. Sale of such substances is a felony.
The products named in the AG’s release were Exodus Mushy Drops Gummies, Golden Teacher Magic Blend Gummies, and Nootropic Blend Mushroom Gummies.
The AG’s office has sent C&D letters to companies that own about 300 retail shops in Nebraska and filed 16 lawsuits for various violations.
As of Monday, 24 companies have signed the Assurance of Voluntary Compliance, while 12 of the lawsuits have been settled.
