The Missouri Division of Cannabis Regulation (DCR) this week revoked the marijuana manufacturing license of C&C Manufacturing in Springfield.
DCR conducted an investigation of C&C that led to several administrative actions including:
- DCR’s Aug. 8, 2024, recall of marijuana product due to C&C’s inclusion of THC sourced from unregulated cannabis in its products (a practice known as “inversion”).
- DCR’s Sept. 26, 2024, suspension of C&C’s license, including the directive to preserve video records and marijuana product at its facility pending the outcome of the investigation.
Following the issuance of a Notice of Pending Revocation to C&C on Jan. 17, 2025, DCR discovered C&C removed or destroyed all of the marijuana product in its facility as well as its video records. DCR subsequently amended the Notice of Pending Revocation to include these violations.
The violations leading to C&C’s license revocation are numerous and include:
- Failing to comply with state and federal requirements by transporting Missouri marijuana outside of Missouri;
- Selling marijuana product in Missouri that did not originate from Missouri marijuana;
- Failing to appropriately track and trace marijuana products;
- Manufacturing marijuana product containing intoxicating cannabinoids produced through chemical modification;
- Improper destruction of marijuana products, including a failure to reflect destruction in applicable records; and
- Failing to preserve records and marijuana products as directed by DCR’s prior directives.
“The Department enforces its regulations to uphold the Missouri Constitution and ensure safe access to marijuana product at our licensed facilities. C&C’s use of unregulated THC to create marijuana products, numerous violations of rule, and destruction of product and records in direct violation of DCR orders demonstrates clear disregard for law at the expense of health and safety and has no place in Missouri’s regulated market,” said Amy Moore, DCR Director.
