Vanderbilt Law professor Robert A. Mikos, suggests the Sweet Leaf “looping” case, which cost the company more than two dozen Denver licenses, might demonstrate regulators’ shortcomings. Looping means repeated sales to the same customers to sidestep maximum purchase rules.
“I know that the common refrain that you hear, at least publicly from law enforcement and regulators, is that things are going well,” Mikos said. “Yet it took an awful long time for the (regulators) to shut down that operation.”
An investigation is ongoing. No one in Sweet Leaf management has been charged with a crime, and most charges against the budtenders have been dismissed.
