Denver Releases 28,000 Recalled Cannabis Edibles


The city of Denver has released more than 28,000 packages of marijuana-infused edibles back into the market after recalling the products late last year when they tested positive for pesticides that are banned for use on cannabis.

The release comes despite Gov. John Hickenlooper in November issuing an executive order mandating that all contaminated cannabis be destroyed as "a risk to public health" and "a threat to public safety."

But Denver officials say that while they recalled the products in the wake of the executive order, they released certain low-level batches after the city attorney's office verified that "the XO (executive order) doesn't tell us, the city, anything," said Dan Rowland, spokesman for Denver's Office of Marijuana Policy.

"What the governor's XO does is give advice and guidance to state agencies, which is great," Rowland said. "It's certainly guidance and advice that we can use. Obviously we looked at it, and it's good to see that information out there."
