Medical marijuana sold at two dispensaries in Colorado Springs has been recalled by the state Marijuana Enforcement Division, but most of it has probably already been smoked. According to a May 3 notice from the MED and the state Department of Public Health and Environment, any marijuana flower, shake, or trim purchased at Canna Meds Wellness Centers from May 2, 2021, to April 6, 2022, is a threat to public health and safety. The recall stemmed from failed mold and yeast testing, but the MED announcement says that Canna Meds also violated several tracking protocols. While the majority of MED recalls are issued months after the flagged products are sold, this notice spans nearly a full year. Testing for pesticides, mold, and other contaminants is required of marijuana growers in Colorado, and it’s the responsibility of cultivation and dispensary owners to ensure that those requirements are met, according to the MED. The department issues recall after an additional review process prompted by tips and routine inspections to verify potential contamination.
