    The Denver Environmental Health Department inspected Green Cross Colorado and found evidence of pesticides not approved for use on marijuana. Specifically, bottles of Mallet and Eagle 20 pesticides were observed on site. As a result, the department issued a hold order on all plants and products in the facility identified by RFID tags until testing confirms they are safe. The hold can be lifted if testing shows no pesticide residue, independent lab results prove safety, or the plants are destroyed according to regulations. Failure to comply with the hold order could result in condemnation of all plants.

    Green Cross Colorado
    Daniel Griffin
    660 Bryant St.
    Denver, CO 80204
    Dear Mr. Griffin:
    The following observations were based on visits to Green Cross Colorado and CannaPunch
    on 4/2/2015:

    Observed a bottle of Mallet onsite, along with evidence from the labeling on their retail
    packaging stating that the facility uses Mallet and Eagle 20 (which are not listed on the
    Colorado Department of Agricultures list of approved pesticides)to produce marijuana. The
    facility could not provide logs for pesticide application. The facility stated that they stopped
    using Mallet and Eagle 20 February 1 st after receiving complaints from customers, and
    confirmed the possible contamination of these pesticides on plant product currently being
    produced in the facility. The facility also manufactures CannaPunch with the dried and extracted
    product that has been identified as possibly having contaminated plant material. The operator
    provided RFID numbers for plants and a list/weight for dried plant material.
    Based upon our site visit and investigation of the premises, the Denver Department of
    Environmental Health (DEH) finds sufficient evidence that marijuana plants or marijuana product
    on the premises may have been contaminated by pesticides that have been determined by the
    Colorado Department of Agriculture to be a violation to use on marijuana; therefore, DEH finds that
    the presence of these possible pesticide residues on marijuana plants being cultivated for human
    consumption either by inhalation or ingestion may pose a significant public health risk.
    Given this evidence of possible pesticide contamination, and pursuant to the authority granted to the
    department of environmental health to protect public health under DRMC 24-16 and 24-17, you
    are ordered to hold all plants in the areas specified herein, specifically: All plants and plant byproduct currently in the facility (dried material, concentrate, beverages included) identified by RFID
    tags. All plants/products subject to this order shall remain on hold until written approval is obtained
    from the Denver Department of Environmental Health to lift the hold. During the period of the
    hold, the subject plants:
    During the period of the hold:
    1. The subject plants may be watered and maintained.

    2. The subject plants must remain segregated from other, non-contaminated plants.

    3. The subject plants may be harvested, but the resulting harvest must remain segregated
    from other plants by RFID number and may not be commingled with the harvests from
    any other plants. The harvested marijuana product must remain subject to the hold.
    4. No clippings or clones may be taken from the subject plants until the hold is lifted.

    The hold may be lifted in one of the following ways:


    1. The DEH may issue a written order to lift the hold after the pesticide analysis done by
    the Colorado Department of Agriculture yields a no detect result, so that DEH is
    satisfied that the pesticide residue levels are insignificant and the marijuana plants are
    safe for human consumption.
    2. The DEH may issue a written order to lift the hold after the owner/manager of the
    marijuana facility provides written documentation from an independent accredited
    laboratory to satisfy the executive director of DEH that the marijuana plant/product is
    safe for human consumption. The Department will evaluate any information provided
    related to the safety of the plants.
    3. The DEH may issue a written order to condemn the plants and/or product. This order
    would be issued in conjunction with agents from the state Marijuana Enforcement
    Division and the city Department of Excise and Licenses, so that subsequent destruction
    of plants is done lawfully according to MED regulations.
    4. The owner/manager of the marijuana facility agrees to voluntary destroy the plants, and
    appropriately destroys the subject plants in accordance with MED regulations. The
    owner/manager must contact DEH before proceeding with condemnation.
    Please be advised that if the Department of Environmental finds sufficient evidence that your
    facility is not strictly adhering to the conditions of the hold order, all plants in question may be
    condemned and disposed of to protect public health.
