G3 Labs in Las Vegas, Shut Down by State of Nevada

admin National Marijuana News

The Department of Taxation suspended the license of G3 Labs LLC, at 3220 Procyon St., on Aug. 24, department spokeswoman Stephanie Klapstein said.

The Nevada Department of Agriculture tested marijuana samples from the lab but determined that no product recalls will be necessary, Klapstein said.

“Based on all the information we’ve gathered through the investigation, we’re working with the licensee to address the issues and get them back into compliance,” Klapstein said. “Until then, their license will remain suspended, and they cannot operate.”

Klapstein said she could provide no other details about why the lab was suspended.

State law requires cannabis companies to have samples of their products tested by licensed independent laboratories. Those labs screen for toxic metals, fungi and pesticides, and they verify the potency of marijuana products to ensure consistency.

G3 is the first marijuana business in Nevada to have its license suspended since recreational marijuana possession became legal Jan. 1. Tax Department Director Deonne Contine said this shows that the state is diligent in regulating the marijuana industry.

“This is exactly what we were tasked with doing — regulating marijuana businesses to make sure everyone is complying with the laws and rules,” Contine said. “Most of the public focus up to this point has been on who’s getting licensed, but enforcement is a critical part of our work as regulators, and it’s central to the tightly regulated industry the governor has called for.”

Essence Dispensaries CEO Armen Yemenidjian said he was “shocked” when he heard the news.

“I would have never guessed that he would be suspended,” Yemenidjian said. “Maybe this is all a misunderstanding and it will work out. But I just don’t know.”
