Two Colorado stoners have filed a lawsuit against a local Denver dispensary for illegal use of dangerous chemicals in their grow operation, according to stuff.co.nz.

The dispensary in question, LivWell, is being sued for the use of Eagle 20 EW, a fungicide that can become hazardous when heated.

LivWell insists that customers are not at risk when smoking their inventory, but authorities proceeded to confiscate hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of plants earlier this year.

“We have no reason to believe our product is not perfectly safe,” said Dean Heizer, LivWell lawyer.
