NBC 10 I-Team: Cannabis cultivator fined for improper sample tracking

December 17, 2024

A cannabis growing company agrees to pay an $8,000 penalty to the state of Rhode Island.

A consent order obtained by the NBC 10 I-Team shows regulators found Mammoth cultivators in Warwick did not properly track samples of marijuana given to workers.

According to the agreement, the state allows cultivator employees to take quality control samples, after they’ve served their quality control purpose.

But regulators claim in this case, based on an audit from July 2023 to Feb. 2024, some of those samples were larger than what’s allowed.

NBC10 tried to reach Mammoth for comment Tuesday, but has not heard back.

The I-Team reported in 2022 Mammoth agreed to a $10,000 penalty after its cannabis was entered in a competition across state lines in Massachusetts, which was against state rules.
