Colo. store has to pay $1M for selling synthetic marijuana

DENVER (Legal Newsline) – A Colorado Springs convenience store and its owner will have to pay a record $1 million civil penalty for selling synthetic cannabinoids, Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman said on April 29.

Popo Wee Mart was allegedly selling the illegal substance commonly known as Spice. The store was sued by the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Section in May 2014 after the products were seized from the property in an earlier raid by law enforcement agents.
