“OG Kush”

“Lato Pop”
You can see the sample tray and the shadow inside are the same. If you closely examine the bottom right part of the flower, you can see it’s identical to the picture above and the orange-hued flower image was overlayed on top.

The sample number, product name, and top level cannabinoid content was also edited, but the detailed Cannabinoid Analyte Test Values are identical for both products.

Whoever forged the documents, forgot to remove the QR code, which is identical across multiple sets of COAs found on Zaza Delivery’s website.

Upon scanning the identical QR code from both COAs, we’re taken to the actual legitimate COA from New Bloom Labs, which lists a different product called: “Chem #4”. Cannabinoid results and sample ID matches that of the “OG Kush” THCa product sold by Zaza, but the template formatting & design is different.

It became apparent that the COAs were most likely altered.

We reached out to New Bloom Labs to help us confirm whether these COAs are legitimate. The response we got was what we suspected.

“Regretfully, I must inform you that these reports have been fraudulently altered, and are invalid.”
- John Kerns - CEO New Bloom Labs

CEO John Kerns also informed us that fraudulent COAs have been on the rise and have started to plague the industry. A large increase in reports and inquiries about the legitimacy of COAs had started surfacing about a year ago.

New Bloom Labs has created a video to inform consumers on how to spot illegitimate Certificates of Analysis and has implemented QR codes to help combat photoshopped and forged test results.

Video - New Bloom Labs - Guarding Against Fake COAs

New Bloom Labs has been at the forefront in TN with efforts to improve compliance and lobby for stricter regulations and chain of custody tracking.

Unfortunately, until seed-to-sale tracking for hemp products is in place, anyone can distribute a legitimate COA for a completely different THCa product. It would be impossible to tell if the COA is legitimate, unless that product is tested once it’s delivered.

This is a common issue in the unregulated hemp industry. Bad actors take COAs and distribute completely different THCa flower products. Various studies from ACIL and others have confirmed that hemp products are often mislabeled, and when they are tested, the results vary wildly versus what is advertised and shown in the supplied COA.

It’s not clear if the hemp supplier who sent the products to Zaza is the one that forged and supplied the certificates or if it was Zaza themselves, nonetheless, you can examine the certificates on Zaza’s COA page and their individual THCa product pages.

• Cookies Florida, Inc. – Palm Bay

Since April 1, adults in Germany can possess up to 25 grams of cannabis and grow a maximum of three plants at home. Cannabis was also taken off the narcotics list, making it far easier to prescribe.

The lack of Pillar 2, or commercialization of cannabis in Germany, has allowed the medical market to continue growing as it serves the consumer demand via imported cannabis.

Out of the 69 lab results, 95% (66) of the THCa flower products had a lab test performed in Tennessee by New Bloom Labs.

Two (2) products were tested in OR by Pinnacle Analytics and only one (1) showed a CoA from California lab Marin Analytics.

Break-down by % of total.

Not a single one of the 69 Certificate of Analysis lab results included any safety test panels for pesticides, heavy metals, or bacteria.

Certificate of Analysis files also varied by file type. Some were PDFs, others were JPEG & PNG images, lacking consistency and perhaps indicating other issues.

Example CoA.

Users accessing the Georgia Hemp Company’s website are also now greeted by a pop-up that directs them to High There Co’s website, where they can purchase THCa flower.

Among the products offered, users can find “THCa Dog Walker Mini Pre-Rolls”.

Green Thumb Industries currently owns the Dogwalkers brand and the trademark associated with it.

On Oct 1, new hemp regulations banning THCa flower in Georgia went into effect, raising concerns from consumers on social media.

ABC’s Channel 9 reported that “Joe Salome co-owner of the Georgia Hemp Company is in full support of the bill. He says for years there was uncertainty around the hemp business but this law helps to soothe their worries.”

While THCa flower is now banned in Georgia, it would appear that the owners of the Georgia Hemp Company have found a way around it: ship it from their newly registered NC hemp company: JOyRYde LLC dba High There Co

NC Secretary of State business registration records show that High There Co’s street address coincides with NC JOyRYde LLC, registered under The Georgia Hemp Company’s co-founder Ryan Dills.

While the duo welcomed Georgia’s THCa ban, it would seem they have found a way to profit with reduced competition by directing consumers to High There Co and shipping THCa flower from NC.

A reddit user reports that multiple NC hemp companies are continuing to ship hemp THCa flower to Georgia.
