Marijuana Company Sued For Not Getting Customers High Enough

A pair that enjoys marijuana is suing the marijuana industry because the drug didn't make them feel high enough.

The two men accuse Dreamfields Brands of misleading its customers about the THC content of its goods in a complaint they have filed in a state court against the California-based firm.

The psychoactive component in marijuana that makes you high is called THC.

A number of frauds, including false advertising and misrepresentation, were allegedly committed by Dreamfields Brands when promoting its cannabis products, according to the lawsuit, which was filed last week.

Blake Wilson of Fresno and Jasper Centeno of Long Beach claim that they were deceived about the items' THC levels.

The plaintiff's representation, Christin Cho, said in a statement: "Consumers are willing to pay more for cannabis products with higher THC content, and expect to pay less for cannabis products with lower THC content.”

"The Complaint alleges that by labeling its products with inflated THC numbers, Defendants are overcharging consumers. Plaintiffs brought this to protect California consumers to protect cannabis consumers from being overcharged."

The products in question are Jeeter pre-rolls from Dreamfields.

In an independent laboratory test, it was discovered that one of the products, Tone, which was promoted as having a THC level of 46%, actually had between 23% and 27%.

The lawsuit also makes reference to Weed Week's results, which examined the THC content of several cannabis products. They discovered that the product's THC content was much lower than what was claimed.

Centeno and Wilson claimed that they paid a "premium price" for the goods in order to experience the effects of increased THC levels, but that they were overcharged for it.

The men's actual purchase price is unknown, and they are suing the cannabis company for an undisclosed sum.

Since 2016, cannabis usage for leisure has been permitted in California. The state has reportedly grown to be the largest legal marijuana market in the world, according to the LA Times.
