The city of San Diego is directing retailers selling synthetic hemp-derived products to dispose of such items within the month or face possible enforcement actions, it was announced Friday.
Following a law enforcement investigation into alleged illegal dispensaries operating near schools and homes that led to multiple arrests, the city sent letters this month to local retailers suspected of selling cannabis unlawfully or selling synthetic cannabis products. Prohibited synthetic products include those claiming to be "Delta-8 THC," "Delta-10 THC" or "other similar synthetically derived `hemp-based' products, as well as those hemp products which may be inhaled," according to the city.
