Denver regulators revoked four cannabis licenses held by Blazin OG following the arrest of the company’s compliance officer last year in Nebraska, according to a city official.
Denver’s Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection (DLCP) revoked Blazin OG’s licenses for cultivation and retail on Jan. 6 after inspectors allegedly found 2,606 untagged plants at the company’s grow site.
The inspection took place after Denver officials learned Eileen Steimer, the company’s compliance manager and the wife of owner Marc Steimer, was arrested in March 2025 in Nebraska after police allegedly found 31 pounds of cannabis in sealed packages in her car during a traffic stop.
Eileen Steimer spent two nights in jail and was fined $10,000 for the offense, according to reports from the Denver Post. Neither Steimer responded to an emailed request for comment.
It is somewhat rare for the city to revoke a cannabis business license. The last time was on June 11, 2024. Eric Escudero, communications manager for the DLCP, said it was more common for the city to issue fines and suspensions than revocations.
“The city looks at revoking a license as a last resort. Our hope is that we never have to revoke a license again,” Escudero said. “Our goal is getting businesses to comply with the important laws surrounding marijuana businesses.”
The Colorado’s Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED), which is part of the Department of Revenue, would not say whether it was investigating Blazin OG
“The Division can’t comment on an open and ongoing investigation,” said spokesperson Heather Draper when reached for comment. “However, a business can operate only with both an approved local license and state license.”
Colorado makes 8 enforcement actions in 3 months
As a mature cannabis market, much of Colorado’s enforcement actions involve untracked product and potential diversion.
MED issued eight final decisions in the last three months of 2025. Five were on Dec. 4, and three were announced Oct. 28, according to the division’s website.
Walsenburg Cannabis agreed to surrender its license after the state alleged that the license-holder failed to track all of its product and allowed cannabis to be improperly cultivated and transferred from its facility, potentially into the illicit market.
Adams Green Crossing surrendered its license and must pay a $40,000 fine after it allegedly cultivated untracked cannabis and sold it at the retail level.
The Cannabis Pioneers in Aurora agreed to surrender its license after the state alleged that the processor failed to track improper deliveries of cannabis that it then converted into concentrates for its own retail storefronts.
Legacy Gardenz in Ordway surrendered its licenses for medical cultivation and retail after the state allegedly found the company failed to track medical product that it grew and sold. The company was also fined $10,000.
The state suspended South Pueblo‘s retail license for at least 90 days with a $7,500 fine for improperly tracking product and failing to pay sales tax. The Pueblo company must also pay the taxes it owes.
Infinite Pharms in Ordway agreed to surrender its cultivation license after it allegedly failed to properly tag and track product.
CGRO LLC agreed to collect existing badges from former owner Cedric Crockett, who continued to operate the Moffat business after their owners license lapsed. Those licenses will be destroyed, and Crockett will not be able to apply for new licenses.
Montem PharmLabs in Alma received a seven-day suspension and a $7,500 fine for allegedly selling to a minor.
Other cannabis business enforcement
Colorado is not the only state having to enact punitive measures against cannabis operators. California seized illicit or untracked products from at least 36 licensed businesses in the first month of 2026, according to the CRB Monitor licensing database.
Oklahoma regulators issued four suspensions in January, and Washington D.C. shut down five storefronts for failure to pay outstanding fees and fines, and nine more for continuing to operate with an expired license.
