Marijuana Company Faces Lawsuit for Allegedly Not Getting Customers High Enough

Excerpt:
Two men are suing a California cannabis company for allegedly overstating how potent its pre-rolled joints are.
In a proposed class action lawsuit, plaintiffs Jasper Centeno and Blake Wilson allege that DreamFields' Jeeter brand of pre-rolled joints contains less THC than is listed on the package. THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the chief chemical responsible for marijuana's psychological effects. A "pre-roll" consists of crushed cannabis flower rolled into paper so that it can be smoked like a cigarette.
DreamFields markets its products as having higher-than-average THC levels, a complaint filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court says. But independent lab testing found Jeeter pre-rolls contained much less THC than claimed, the lawsuit alleges.
Court filings allege that while the label on Baby Jeeter Fire OG Diamond Infused pre-rolls claims a THC level of 46%, testing commissioned by the marijuana industry newsletter WeedWeek indicated it only had between 23% and 27%.
A five-pack of Baby Jeeter Churros Diamond Infused pre-rolls, meanwhile, is labeled as 37% THC but tested at just 26% to 29%, the lawsuit alleges.
California Department of Cannabis Control regulations require THC levels be within 10% of what's listed on the package.
