State regulators are moving to revoke the license of one of the top cannabis growing businesses, alleging it failed to disclose an owner and had a significant amount of unregistered cannabis.
The R.I. Office of Cannabis Regulation has ordered STJ LLC, known better as Fire Ganja, to appear at a show-cause hearing on September 15 to discuss why regulators are seeking to revoke its cultivator license.
The regulators issued the order on August 16 after they learned earlier in the year the Warwick business had 1,473 untagged plants, 1,507 ounces of untagged flower, 2,038 ounces of untagged hash, and 276 ounces of untagged concentrate, according to documents Target 12 obtained through a public records request.
Regulators initially discovered the irregularities at Fire Ganja in June after an owner reached out asking for permission to log so-called “mother plants” into a state system called “Metrc,” which tracks all cannabis products from the time they are seeds or clones until the moment they are sold at retail.
