On 8 April 2026, Catalyst Retail, LLC responded to a reissued notice from the Alaska Alcohol and Marijuana Control Office (AMCO) against its Catalyst Cannabis store at 317 Muldoon Road in Anchorage. The 19 February notice alleged 119 inventory-tracking violations and 15 violations for selling more than one ounce of usable cannabis to one person in a day.[1][2]
AMCO based its tracking allegations on 2025 METRC records. The store made 4,211 package adjustments during the year, including 16,300 grams in downward adjustments attributed to entry errors or product pulled or sold over or under weight, across 119 unique items. The agency also identified 15 sales documents showing more than 30 grams sold to one customer in a day.[1][2]
AMCO assessed a total fine of $11,150: up to $10,000 for the tracking counts and $1,500 for the over-limit sales. The notice says it is not a criminal accusation or complaint.[1]
Catalyst acknowledged recordkeeping errors but argued the 119 counts overstated the number of violations because some adjustments reflected one error. It said it intended to pay the tracking fine while asking for a reduction. The company acknowledged the 15 over-limit transactions but said its configured point-of-sale system had failed to block them; it asked AMCO to pause action on those counts pending a software-provider review.[1][2]
The sources do not report whether the board changed the proposed fine or ruled on the company’s request.[1][2]
