Cannabis companies kicked out of Colorado after reports of liver injuries

Three Colorado-based companies—Nuka Enterprises LLC, Sima Sciences LLC, and Nuka Properties LLC—will cease operations after settling a state lawsuit over their cannabis-based sleep aid, “Midnight Drops.”

Consumers began reporting health issues in 2020, linked to herbal ingredients Corydalis and Stephania extracts, which may cause liver injury.

Despite warnings, the companies continued selling the product, CBS News has reported.

Under the settlement, they will pay a $400,000 fine, remove the product from the market, and stop operations in Colorado, with potential penalties up to $1 million for future violations.
