U.S. Customs and Border Protection has seized a Colorado company's shipments of a product intended to keep marijuana out of the hands of children.
On April 28 of this year, CBP took a shipment of 500 storage cases en route to Stashlogix of Boulder, Colorado. Stashlogix designed the boxes and was importing them to sell to marijuana, tobacco and pharmaceutical consumers stateside. The product was being sold to those particularly those who had children and wanted to keep drugs safely locked up and out of reach.

"This is to officially notify you that Customs and Border Protection seized the property described below at Los Angeles International Airport on April 28, 2017," the letter read. The agency had seized 500 of Stone's storage bags, valued at $12,000. Customs said the bags were subject to forfeiture because "it is unlawful for any person to import drug paraphernalia."
In a separate letter explaining the ruling, Customs acknowledged that "standing alone, the Stashlogix storage case can be viewed as a multi-purpose storage case with no association with or to controlled substances." However, Customs notes that the storage cases come with an odor-absorbing carbon insert that could be used to conceal the smell of marijuana.
