[PRESS RELEASE] – DALLAS, June 17, 2025 – Three licensed warehouses located in Dallas’ Harry Hines neighborhood were raided by police officers. They are Monster, Frontline Wholesale & Cannafy Distribution. The three companies all distribute hemp-derived products that are federally approved and sold across the country. They can be verified with certificates of analysis from accredited laboratories. These products benefit thousands of Texans. They include veterans, cancer sufferers, and those with chronic pain.
Each product includes a QR code that links directly to its COA—a legally binding document, signed by a DEA-registered, ISO-accredited lab director, confirming that the product meets the legal requirement of less than 0.3% delta-9 THC. The tests are conducted using scientifically validated methods.
Monster Distribution has been compliant with the law on every level. They relied in good faith on licensed, accredited labs to verify that the products meet all legal standards,” said David Sergi, attorney for Monster. The raid did not have any basis in fact. This raid was political theatre. When law enforcement takes actions outside of its jurisdiction to deny businesses and people their property and rights, this raises grave legal concerns.
Texas Forensic Science Commission, or FSC, has continually warned both law enforcement agencies and prosecutors of the limits of some lab methods for testing cannabinoids, especially the misuse of gas chromatography, without derivatization. Gas chromatography can be used to convert THCa, nonpsychoactive, into delta-9 THC. The state still builds cases based on questionable scientific evidence despite these warnings.
