Dear Mr. Noueiry:
The following observations were made during a visit to your facility on 3/20/15:
Walk through visit conducted at MMJ America at 1617 W 12th Ave Denver, CO 80204 (Denver
License number: 1060946, OPC: 403-00424 & 403-00423). The operator verified that plants
were treated with Avid on 3/10/2015 are still currently being held in the facility. Manager stated
that there was a change in management and that they no longer use the chemicals listed in the
MSDS list currently on site. An updated SDS (formerly MSDS) was not provided during the
visit as well as updated logs of any recent pesticide application (after the date of 3/10/2015).
Management was able to identify and provide RFID numbers to the inspector for the plants (104
plants) treated on 3/10/2015. General SOP's were provided as well.
This order supersedes the order issued on 3/20/2015.
Based upon our site visit and investigation of the premises, the Denver Department of
Environmental Health (DEH) finds sufficient evidence that marijuana plants or marijuana product
on the premises may have been contaminated by pesticides that have been determined by the
Colorado Department of Agriculture to be a violation to use on marijuana; therefore, DEH finds that
the presence of these possible pesticide residues on marijuana plants being cultivated for human
consumption either by inhalation or ingestion may pose a significant public health risk.
Given this evidence of possible pesticide contamination, and pursuant to the authority granted to the
department of environmental health to protect public health under DRMC 24-16 and 24-17, you
are ordered to hold all plants in the areas specified herein, specifically: all plants identified by the
RFID numbers provided on 3/20/2015 and vegetative room 7. All plants subject to this order shall
remain on hold until written approval is obtained from the Denver Department of Environmental
Health to lift the hold. During the period of the hold, the subject plants:
During the period of the hold:
1. The subject plants may be watered and maintained.
2. The subject plants must remain segregated from other, non-contaminated plants.
3. The subject plants may be harvested, but the resulting harvest must remain segregated
from other plants by RFID number and may not be commingled with the harvests from
any other plants. The harvested marijuana product must remain subject to the hold.
4. No clippings or clones may be taken from the subject plants until the hold is lifted.
