In Pursuit Of Hemp Compliance, Colorado AG Settles With One Company, Sues Another

Attorney General Phil Weiser has leveraged the CCPA to enforce compliance
Colorado’s Attorney General continues to crack down on the state’s hemp companies, recently settling claims against one while filing suit against another.
In the first case, a CBD company has agreed to pay $495,000 to settle allegations brought by the state under the Colorado Consumer Protection Act (CCPA). Bee’s Knees Enterprises entered the settlement to resolve claims of deceptive trade practices.
The agreement did not require the company to admit liability in the case, in which Bee’s Knees was accused of giving false information regarding its hemp-derived cannabinoid products.
In a separate case, the AG’s office filed a lawsuit against Foxhole Farms, a Mesa County business, for marketing marijuana products as federally legal industrial hemp.
Attorney General Phil Weiser has leveraged the CCPA to enforce compliance in the hemp flower sectors, taking action where specific regulatory frameworks may be lacking. The cases underscore the state’s ongoing efforts to enforce cannabis laws, safeguard consumers and protect the integrity of the regulated cannabis market, the AG’s office said in a statement.
