Report No: GT/GB-171009-047250403

Location: Fort Collins and Greeley, CO

Agents:

• Drummond
• McCarter
• Parker
• Booth

Summary:

Following the death of Radomir Resnick, agents continued their investigation into Avalon Gardens, a boutique THC product company linked to the unnatural through contaminated vape cartridges. The team executed online intelligence gathering, witness follow-up, product chemical analysis, and preliminary physical surveillance of the Avalon Gardens facility. Findings indicate a pattern of anomalous activity centered on ultra-refined THC distillates and their physiological and possibly unnatural effects on consumers.

Operation Report:

• Lodging and Logistics:
  Agents chose to remain in Fort Collins near CSU following the autopsy of Resnick. Dr. Evelyn Carrington was retained as a local scientific contact.

• Subject Research – Avalon Gardens:

  • Avalon Gardens is a cannabis company based in Greeley, Colorado, founded in 2015 by Dakota Knight and his father, Bill Knight.
  • The company emphasizes high-potency, highly processed THC products (e.g., distillates, oils, shatter).
  • Marketing leans heavily into Arthurian themes, with branded strains such as Guinevere Cherry, Excalibur Blueberry, and Green Knight Gush.
  • Online reviews and user reports praise the product’s intensity, often noting it “cuts through tolerance” and feels like “smoking for the first time again.”
  • One anecdotal account detailed a teenager, Brady Tavish, who consumed Avalon Gardens product and drove a minivan into a school cafeteria, injuring an English teacher.

• Personnel and Ownership Background:

  • Dakota Knight: Public face of the company. Appears physically transformed from overweight and unkempt in 2015 to muscular and aesthetically groomed in the present. Operates a high-visibility social media presence emphasizing “Live Like a King” branding. Former CEO of Excalibur Solutions LLC (2012–2014).
  • Bill Knight: Co-founder, Dakota’s father. CEO of Knight Chevrolet. Politically active. Known address in Weldona, CO, at One Grouse Drive.

• Product Analysis:

  • Agents acquired multiple Avalon Gardens cartridges, including Guinevere Cherry.
  • Dr. Carrington facilitated expedited testing at CSU.
  • Lab results confirmed 99% THC content, unusually pure even by commercial standards.
  • Despite claims of multiple strains, genetic testing revealed all samples derived from the same unknown strain, genetically related to Blue Dream.
  • Discrepancy noted: significant flavor/aroma presence despite minimal dilution, suggesting unknown additive or anomalous expression.
  • No detectable contaminants or known toxins. Results considered “unusual” by university standards.

• Witness Contact – Susanna Carmichael:

  • Original buyer of Resnick’s cartridges located in Kansas City, Missouri.
  • Identified as a 36-year-old assistant principal with a history of migraines.
  • Denied usage; claimed to have been robbed minutes after purchase.
  • Her receipt and behavior confirm plausibility of statement. No symptoms reported.

• Facility Surveillance – Valley Dirtlands Cultivation Site:

  • Agents conducted a drive-by of the grow and processing site in Greeley.
  • Site is on the outskirts of town, adjacent to a motocross complex and isolated from other structures.
  • Facility appears to be a large T-shaped warehouse with a dispensary storefront.
  • Customer access and parking available; no obvious external signs of unnatural activity.
  • Surveillance options limited due to site’s rural surroundings.
  • A slaughterhouse nearby noted for potential cover story or staging opportunities.

• Cover Planning and Operational Options Discussed:

  • Posing as DEA agents deemed risky due to likely legal counsel response.
  • Undercover approach proposed, including posing as:
    • Lifestyle brand representatives
    • Distributors from California
    • Cross-marketing agents for outdoor apparel
  • Need for backstopped cover identities and plausible point-of-contact planning noted.
  • Further recon and possible human asset targeting suggested.

Analysis and Recommendations:

• The uniformity of the genetic strain used in Avalon Gardens products, coupled with the alleged variability in marketed “strains,” suggests either a deliberate obfuscation or a deeper manipulation of cannabis genetics—potentially by unnatural means. Atypical physiological effects in users align with prior DG incidents involving memetic contamination and hostile biochemical vectors.

• Dakota Knight’s transformation and hyper-visibility in social media indicate potential narcissistic vulnerability—ideal for exploitation or manipulation by external unnatural forces. Drastic physical transformation within two years should be considered for further biological scrutiny. Consider cross-referencing images with incidents flagged in Program archives (Ops LYCANTHOS, EMERALD TOWER).

• The extreme THC purity, despite flavoring, and its psychological/neurological impact on users—along with lethal outcomes in the Resnick case—imply a psychoactive vector possibly interfacing with neurological thresholds in a way not understood by conventional science.

• Greeley’s isolation, proximity to agricultural and animal processing infrastructure, and minimal oversight suggest potential for hidden operations, especially underground or after-hours. The motocross field may offer access points or secondary staging for materials and testing.

• Avalon Gardens warrants classification as an Entity of Interest (EOI-773) and possible Class B threat. Recommend further investigation into production facilities, personnel records (especially lab staff), and financial ties of the Knight family.

• Possible tie to preexisting Skoptsi cult methodologies or revivalist patterns should be monitored. Notably, all active strains trace genetically to Blue Dream, a symbolically resonant name when viewed through the lens of dream-as-portal archetypes.

• Suggest surveillance escalation:

  • Thermal imaging of the facility post-sunset
  • Drone flyover during motocross events
  • Human intelligence recruitment among lower-tier dispensary staff

• RECOMMENDATION: Grant temporary increase in operational scope for MASTICATE to include use of enhanced cover identities and permissive engagement with corporate assets.

Session Notes

• Recap from the Handler (Luke)

  • The Handler begins by summarizing the investigation into Radomir Resnick’s final hours.
  • Resnick had chain-smoked stolen Avalon Gardens vape cartridges (identified by their packaging).
  • Surveillance footage at Snowmelt Brewery showed Resnick compulsively vaping these cartridges and suffering from a severe cough.
  • He ultimately died in a jail cell with massive trauma to his lungs and a violent lipoid pneumonia.
  • His lungs had effectively “burst” from his body and attacked a police canine, pointing to a supernatural or highly unusual cause.
  • The team (Masticate Cell) secured several Avalon Gardens cartridges for testing.

• Deciding Where to Stay

  • The group discusses whether to remain in Fort Collins or return to Denver after the autopsy.
  • They note they are close to Colorado State University (CSU) in Fort Collins, where they have a friendly contact (Dr. Evelyn Carrington) for examining Resnick’s remains.
  • They agree to stay in Fort Collins at a local Best Western hotel for convenience.

• General Research on Avalon Gardens

  • The team begins open-source research into the Avalon Gardens cannabis brand.
  • They discover an Arthurian theme in all the product names (e.g., Guinevere Cherry, Excalibur Blueberry, Mellow Merlin Mango, Green Knight Gush).
  • Avalon Gardens was founded in 2015 by two individuals:
    • Dakota Knight (the website claims he is about 30, but external sources say he is actually 37).
    • Bill Knight (Dakota’s father, age 61, also the CEO of Knight Chevrolet).
  • Marketing portrays Avalon Gardens as “high-potency, boutique strains” of cannabis with “99% THC” distillates.
  • Online reviewers mention that Avalon Gardens products can overpower even experienced users and “cut through tolerance.”
  • One post mentions a student named Brady Tavish who reportedly smoked a large amount of Avalon Gardens product and then drove a vehicle into a school cafeteria, causing injuries but no fatalities.
  • The group notes that most users online praise the products for their extreme potency, but no one openly mentions the meaty or broth-like smell that Matthew McCarter detects.

• Further Details on Founders

  • Dakota Knight:
    • Formerly worked in a small consulting firm called Excalibur Solutions LLC (2012–2014).
    • Previously managed Knight Chevrolet offices.
    • Current CEO of Avalon Gardens and highly active on social media.
    • Online photos show him extremely muscular and fitness-focused, but older photos reveal he used to be heavier and less fit.
  • Bill Knight:
    • Father of Dakota, 61 years old, oversees Knight Chevrolet, a large dealership with multiple locations.
    • Wealthy, politically connected (on a PAC board in Colorado).
    • Listed publicly as co-founder of Avalon Gardens alongside Dakota.

• Lab Analysis Plans

  • The agents want to test the Avalon Gardens vape cartridges.
  • They consider sending the samples to the DEA lab or having them analyzed more quickly at CSU via Dr. Carrington.
  • They choose Dr. Carrington’s route to expedite the testing.
  • Carrington agrees to use a colleague’s facilities at CSU, promising same-day or fast results.

• Background on Product Sampling

  • The purchased cartridges (various “flavors”) all smell to McCarter like something meaty, though each is labeled with different fruit or mint flavors.
  • The packaging appears tamper-proof, suggesting the dispensary might not be adding anything on-site.

• Looking into a Previous Customer

  • From the stolen-purse incident, the team learns about Susanna Carmichael of Kansas City, Missouri (36 years old).
  • She purchased Avalon Gardens vape cartridges in Denver and was immediately robbed by Resnick.
  • The group calls her by phone to see if she had used the product.
  • She admits buying it for migraines, never got to smoke any because Resnick stole her purse.
  • She is worried about losing her job as an assistant principal if the purchase is revealed.
  • She provides no further significant leads, since she did not sample the cartridges.

• Lab Results from CSU

  • Carrington’s lab work reveals:
    • Despite different names/flavors on the labels, all samples come from genetically similar cannabis—one strain derived from “Blue Dream.”
    • Laboratory tests confirm near 99% THC purity, which matches the packaging claims.
    • Chemically, it is puzzling how the intense flavoring is present without lowering the THC content.
    • There is no obvious toxic additive based on this limited analysis; no clear sign of the “meaty” odor from the chemical tests alone.

• Discussion of Next Steps / Surveillance

  • The group shifts focus to the Valley Dirtlands Cultivation Site in Greeley, Colorado—Avalon Gardens’ main facility.
  • Satellite imagery shows a large T-shaped warehouse with surrounding fields, not many structures nearby, and a motocross site next door.
  • They note the location is somewhat isolated, making covert surveillance difficult (few places to park and watch).
  • Ideas for infiltration include posing as:
    • DEA agents (using official cover) but worried about scaring off potential leads.
    • Potential business partners or a lifestyle brand seeking collaboration with Dakota.
    • Another approach involving discreet observation or setting up cameras.
  • They note Bill Knight’s mansion address, but have not decided whether to visit him or attempt direct contact.
  • The team acknowledges that once they reveal themselves to Avalon Gardens, it could limit further options, so they debate how best to proceed without tipping their hand.

• Session Close

  • The group agrees to think about surveillance or infiltration strategies.
  • They consider more thorough planning for covert approaches, possibly exploring employees or the Knights themselves.
  • They end with the understanding that they have solid lab information but still need to figure out how to confirm what is truly happening with Avalon Gardens’ products and whether there is a deeper unnatural connection.
