Denver officials revoked four business licenses for a Montbello marijuana dispensary and grow facility after finding repeated code violations and learning that one of the employees was arrested in an interstate drug case, according to city records.
Denver’s Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection, formerly the Department of Excise and Licenses, on Jan. 8 revoked licenses for Blazin OG’s retail and medical shops and grow facilities, city officials wrote in a final decision letter earlier this month.
City inspectors scheduled a visit to the facility, also known as OG Medicinals, at 4995 Lima St. after learning that the wife of the owner, Marc Steimer, was arrested last year south of Omaha, Nebraska, with 31 pounds of marijuana in heat-sealed bags in her vehicle.
Eileen Steimer, who was the compliance manager at Blazin OG, told local law enforcement officers she was transporting the marijuana from Colorado to friends in Michigan. Her March arrest in Sarpy County triggered an inspection of Blazin OG by Colorado officials in June.
John Reisz, chief deputy county attorney for Sarpy County, told The Denver Post on Friday that Eileen Steimer was pulled over on March 6 after repeatedly changing lanes. Officers smelled marijuana in her vehicle and then found the 31-pound cannabis cargo.
She was charged with two felonies — intent to distribute marijuana and lack of a tax stamp for her cargo — and she pleaded no contest. She was fined $10,000, Reisz said.
An attempt to reach Marc Steimer at his Blazin OG email address resulted in an automatic response stating the address was invalid.
According to the Jan. 8 final decision letter obtained by The Denver Post, inspectors found 2,606 plants in Blazin OG’s flower rooms that did not have the required electronic tags attached to the plants. Instead, the tags were lying in the soil.
Molly Duplechian, executive director of the Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection, also ruled that Blazin OG had broken the rules around required signage at limited access areas. For example, a medical dispensary area was missing a “Restricted Access” sign.
“The signs are required to clearly mark areas where customers are prohibited from going,” the letter read. “The areas missing the signs are areas in which marijuana is grown, where money is kept and the area behind the register.”
Blazin OG was also accused of failing to store security camera footage for the required 30 days, instead retaining only a single day of footage. The inspector “found it suspicious” that the video footage was missing when he made his inspection, according to the letter, especially since it was determined that Steimer had been informed that the state’s Marijuana Enforcement Division had concerns about the facility’s operations.
“The Director also finds that Respondent had advanced knowledge of the underlying inspection and that it is more likely than not that Respondent erased all video recordings prior to the day before the inspection,” the final decision letter read.
The video system also had an 11-minute discrepancy on its time stamp, city officials alleged.

No one from the company showed up for the Oct. 9 remote hearing, the letter says.
Steimer told inspectors that his dispensary hadn’t been in operation for most of 2024 and all of 2025 and was in talks with potential buyers to sell the licenses for the store, the letter stated.
That doesn’t excuse Blazin OG from following the city’s and state’s regulations, said Eric Escudero, spokesman for the Denver Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection.
“If a marijuana cultivation business stops selling their product, their business does not turn into a large home grow, which would be unlawful,” he said. “The tracking requirements for marijuana cultivated at this business were still required during all of 2025. Throughout 2025, this business was licensed in Denver and had the requirement to track their cultivated marijuana, maintain video surveillance and maintain required signage under state and city law.”
