The line still seems ambiguous from a chemistry perspective where that thca is for sure turning into thc over time regardless of storage method. My other curiosity about their thca business is that very few concentrates test below .3% thc. Rosin almost never tests below 0.3% so what are they selling here, or are they questionable COA’s?

This is the beginning of the end lmao
eagerly waiting to see all the litigations and lawsuits that come from this play; cookies is big enough to fight any potential lawsuits and drag them out/win them. will be interesting to see what the industry looks like after they push “legal” THCA for a year or two.

Unless they’re cold pressing rosin, I’d bet on dodgy lab methods.
If it’s shady COA they are risking RICO like steep hill in OK
looks like that case got closed 2/1/23, can’t find any of the documents for it on PACER, under seal maybe?
Marin is as shady as they get IMO, no accreditation that I’m aware of. Their white labeling practices are pretty questionable, as are the results they give

I was just thinking the other day a civil rico suit may be the answer l
As civil RICO statutes allow for the recovery of treble damages, a plaintiff who brings a successful civil RICO claim may be entitled to obtain financial relief valued at three times the actual damage they sustained due to the defendant’s racketeering related activities.
Sounds like a fun case to try . Was anyones legal business hurt by these practices?

Do you mean in Arkansas?
I remember paying over 5K to be a premium “sponsor” at cloudfest in OKC back in 2021 when we got there the rep asked us to take any products or gifts we brought for berner to the back stage, when we asked what she meant she said its common practice for all the brands to bring him lbs of flower or extracts, jewelry and even cash, so I said the 5K we paid was the only “gift” we had, then after setting up our booth suddenly we had to be moved from our spot in front of the stage to a different spot near the back and were left off the IG live promotion with Berner when I asked what was up the rep straight up said “Well you didnt have that gift for Berner” shrugged and walked away laughing, luckily I was able to get a charge back on the card I used to pay but definitely changed my whole perspective of how this industry really works

Theres a whole list of people that can attest to alot of what norcal is saying living out here, many of the earliest genetics where made by not him or that company and they never got credit at all for any of there work and to add salt to that wound then renamed and took credit for everyone else’s hard work and effort.

Looks like it, I hadn’t seen the excerpt about the investors accusing them of fraud because of the THCa thing before yesterday though
