According to a report in the Las Vegas Review Journal, a marijuana lab has been fined $70,000 for “unsound testing practices.”
The Department of Taxation announced on Thursday that a Sparks-based marijuana testing lab was fined the fee for engaging in “unsound testing practices” which lead to producing in accurate THC results.
Certified Ag Labs received a 30-day suspension that is retroactive to Nov. 18, the date that it had its state-issued license suspended.
The lab also has to provide a “plan of correction” to address the deficiencies identified by the state’s investigation before the state will allow it to test for THC potency again.
This marks the second time the state has suspended the company’s license in the last two years.
Since Nevada officials said they would be investigating marijuana labs to see how procuts with high levels of mold and yeast make it to store shelves, Certified AG has become the first and only lab so far to be disciplined.
