Attorney General Weiser bans Mesa County business from cannabis industry for misleading consumers, selling to minors

Dec. 10, 2025 (DENVER) – A Mesa County-based business that marketed cannabis products as federally legal hemp will pay fines and be permanently barred from participating in Colorado’s cannabis industry under a settlement announced today by Attorney General Phil Weiser.

“Coloradans deserve to know that the cannabis products they purchase are safe, accurately labeled, and sold within the boundaries of the law,” said Attorney General Weiser. “Foxhole Farms misled consumers, put public health at risk — including the safety of young people — and attempted to evade Colorado’s regulatory system. Today’s action sends a clear message. We will hold accountable any business that undercuts consumer safety or the integrity of our legal cannabis market.”

In November 2024, the attorney general filed a lawsuit against Foxhole Farms and owner, Dane Snover, for allegedly selling products with Delta-9 THC levels far above what the law allows. Although the packaging claimed the products contained legally permissible amounts of Delta-9 THC, the mislabeling likely led consumers to believe they were purchasing hemp rather than marijuana. The lawsuit also alleged that Foxhole Farms failed to verify customers’ ages on its website, creating the risk that minors could purchase marijuana products.

Of the 23 products tested during the state’s investigation, 21 were misrepresented on the Foxhole Farms website. Products purchased and tested by investigators included edibles, concentrates, and flower. Despite several products containing higher Delta-9 THC levels than products sold in legal recreational dispensaries, none of the company’s packaging was childproof, child-resistant, or explicitly stated that the products contained THC at all.

Investigators also found that Foxhole Farms offered for sale age-restricted cannabis smoking devices to underage consumers. Beyond illegal levels of THC, other products contained potentially dangerous levels of chemicals, such as solvent benzene, which is not allowed for use in cannabis extraction and can be extremely toxic when ingested or inhaled. The investigation further revealed that some of the products they sold, including vape cartridges, contained banned pesticides.

Under the terms of the consent judgment, Foxhole Farms and Snover are prohibited from owning or operating any kind of cannabis business or selling cannabis products in the state of Colorado. The Colorado Department of Law will receive $75,000 in fines, which could grow to $425,000 if Foxhole Farms or Snover violate the terms of the settlement.
