Two pissed off potheads in California are suing a local cannabis company for allegedly fibbing about the potency of its preroll joints, and who wouldn't be mad about some weak flower?
According to CBS News, the company was accused of false advertising, intentional misrepresentation, and unjust enrichment.
DreamFields is accused of misrepresenting the amount of the main ingredient in weed that gets you high.
Their gripe was with a prerolled joint brand called a "Jeeter," which was advertised as having a THC content of 50%. That is ludicrous if you know your weed. The strains that are considered high in THC are usually between 22 and 28 percent. You start to border on kief territory if it's much higher than that.
According to independent lab testing cited in the lawsuit, the Jeeters only had a THC content between 23 to 27 percent, which is a lot more feasible. If that is not a discrepancy.
According to CNN's reporting, California law requires companies to clearly label the THC content of their cannabis products, and it must be within 10% of the actual content.
DreamFields' products are not close to making the cut if the lab results are correct.
The companies that sell weed will have to regulate it as it becomes more widespread.
Newcomers will be weeded as the stigma fades.
You could be tempted to write off the whole thing as just some stoners being cheated. As more people try weed who don't know what they're getting into, we should make sure they don't get fleeced.
It wouldn't be right to allow alcohol to be sold with incorrect proof.
