LOMA, Colo. (KKCO) – A company in Loma is in legal hot water with the Colorado Attorney General.
Attorney General Phil Weiser has filed a lawsuit against Foxhole Farms and its owner Dan Snover.
Weiser alleges that the business marketed cannabis-based products as federally legal industrial hemp. Weiser also accused the company of other illegal business practices, including selling weed to a 16-year-old.
KKCO 11 News reached out to Snover’s company via phone and did not receive a response.
The lawsuit was filed on November 21. It shows investigators with the AG’s office conducting undercover buys from the company. The products were tested and state labs showed they greatly exceeded the state’s THC limit. One product in particular tested at nearly 250 times that limit.
“Companies that sell recreational cannabis do so under strict laws designed to keep THC away from kids and ensure consumers are buying products that undergo rigorous testing,” Weiser said. “When companies like the defendants in this case brazenly break the law, they undermine Colorado’s regulated cannabis market, make it easier for kids to get their hands on cannabis, and may be exposing consumers to dangerous products. We will continue to hold accountable companies that try to make a quick buck by breaking the law.”
The attorney general’s office said it became aware of Foxhole Farms’ illegal business practices in 2023 when a consumer in another state filed a complaint which alleged the company sold cannabis products to their 16-year-old son. Though the company’s website asks customers to click a button to indicate they are 21 years or older, the AG’s office said it lacks a proper age verification system. The website is now largely empty.
The Attorney General’s office asks that anyone aware of deceptive business practices file a complaint with their office. Complaints can be filed at StopFraudColorado.gov.
