Marijuana Herald

Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway issued cease-and-desist letters Friday to eight Kansas City-area businesses accused of illegally selling marijuana products while falsely claiming to be licensed dispensaries.

The eight businesses named in the action are Quality Floral LLC, Prohibition Cannabis, Motion City LLC, Gas House KC LLC, Dr. Smoke, TCB Collections doing business as TCB Cannabis Collections Company, edmcapital LLC doing business as Sacred Leaf KC Dispensary, and Shroomland LLC doing business as Shroomland Dispensaries.

Hanaway states in a news release: “Missourians deserve honesty and legality from the businesses operating in their communities. It is illegal for businesses to mislead consumers into believing they are licensed dispensaries authorized to sell marijuana products under Missouri law.” She adds that her office will continue using every available tool to protect consumers, enforce Missouri law, hold bad actors accountable, and protect Missourians from what she describes as the harms associated with unregulated intoxicating drugs.
