Marijuana company sued for not making customers high enough​

A California cannabis company is being sued by two local consumers for allegedly lying about the potency of its products.

Jasper Centeno of Long Beach and Blake Wilson of Fresno filed a lawsuit in state court last week accusing DreamFields Brands of false advertising, intentional misrepresentation and unjust enrichment, among other charges.

At issue in the case is how much Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is contained in DreamFields' Jeeter pre-roll products. THC is the chemical found in cannabis that gives users a high.


DreamFields markets its products as having higher than average levels of THC, but an independent laboratory test found the pre-rolls do not have a higher concentration of the chemical, lawyers for Centeno and Wilson alleged. In one instance, a Jeeter product labeled as having a THC content of 46% was found to contain between 23% and 27%, the lawsuit states.

"Consumers are willing to pay more for cannabis products with higher THC content, and expect to pay less for cannabis products with lower THC content," attorney Christin Cho, who is representing the plaintiffs, said in a statement.

DreamFields did not immediately respond to a request for comment.


The lawsuit also cites a cannabis review by Weed Week in which staff members had a range of marijuana products independently tested for their THC levels. The testing found that all Jeeter products had THC levels lower than that stated on their label. The complaint accuses DreamFields of exaggerating its products' THC levels in order to justify higher prices for customers.

Centeno and Wilson said they paid a "premium price" for Jeeter products and were overcharged, according to the filing. The suit, which is seeking class-action status, doesn't list how much the men paid for the cannabis products. The pair are suing for an undisclosed amount in damages.

Marjiuana companies in California are regulated by the state's Department of Cannabis Control. The agency issues dispensary licenses and determines what labels a company can place on products.

Cannabis is a multibillion-dollar business in the Golden State, which has the longest-standing legal marijuana legislation in the country. California topped the nation in marijuana sales last year at $5.7 billion, according to the Annual Marijuana Business Factbook.

Open and shut case if they were lying on their quality.

I get the false advertising claims, but…

1. 46% don’t even sound fun
2. If you need 46% to get high you need a reset
3. 23-27% should be more than enough

People out here frying their receptors and shyt using carts, and super potent edibles.

Are these those Jeeters and Baby Jeeter mini joints the dispensaries sell?

I think the idea is that, at 46%, it should take less of it to get you high

So I can understand somebody buying some expensive shyt, going thru it just as fast as normal, and not being happy about it


Although 46% automatically sounds in my opinion

Something 46 that isn't a concentrate?



I really hate weed culture. If you not getting high enough you need a tolerance break not stronger weeds.

Moderation is key. All this smoke the strongest and the most shyt people do is bad culture.

Some concentrates hitting 70-80%. You hit it once or twice and be high for the rest of the day.

I noticed the dispensaries in my area display thc and thca and the thca number is usually the number they advertise as the potency
seems like a way for them to market the strain as stronger than it actually is with out being accountable for false advertising

Off rip 46 for flower should have been seen as suspect. That alone shows me these dudes stay in the stratosphere. Weed culture has changed, buying expensive for quality and longevity was our thing. These kids now just buying it to floss and they burning through it.
