According to a 2011 book, the company's success was acknowledged by knockoffs of strains developed and named by Sensi, who were unable to protect their brand names due to the legal landscape of the cannabis industry, after which time Sensi created a knockoff brand of its own products, White Label.{{cite book|title=The Cannabible 3|first=Jason|last= King|publisher=Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press|year=2011|ISBN=1607741733}}
