Fairbanks’ Frozen Budz was one of the first legal cannabis businesses to open in the state. After having its manufacturer’s license revoked Friday, Frozen Budz now holds another important distinction.
“The marijuana board, they’ve had some disciplinary actions for various types of violations, but they’ve never considered a license revocation before and they have never revoked a license,” Erika McConnell, director of the state Alcohol and Marijuana Control Office, said.

Along with a $500,000 fine, the Marijuana Control Board ordered the seizure of all of Frozen Budz products around the state.
Frozen Budz is known for supplying popular edible products to retail shops, items with names like Cannabanana Bread, Toker Chai Tea and Dankchip Cookies. The company has a separate retail license for a shop in Fairbanks, which is not affected by the board’s revocation decision.
