That’s the message from the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food, which says there is a current scam, “or potentially multiple scams,” making the rounds in Utah.
The scam targets individuals about opening their own cannabis dispensary.
According to Dr. Brian Forsyth, director of the UDAF’s Medical Cannabis Division, the information people might receive about this business venture is false.
“We want to clarify that the Utah Medical Cannabis program does not allow for cannabis dispensaries outside of the allowed licensed pharmacies,” Forsyth said in a prepared statement. “Any offers stating that individuals can create their own dispensaries are false and considered scams.
He urged anyone who may have been targeted to “not call any numbers or visit any websites associated with these scam materials that are making their way through our state.”
If an individual comes across these false claims or other suspicious materials, the person should contact the UDAF Medical Cannabis Division at cannabis@utah.gov.
