The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control has named a store in Marin County as one of 12 retailers that violated new regulations on hemp products.
Agents visited 383 stores across the state on Oct. 5 and 6 to ensure employees followed the regulations that were published last month. Retailers are prohibited from selling consumable hemp products that contain THC or other intoxicating cannabinoids. The department announced it seized more than 700 illegal products from stores they investigated.
The alleged offenders included Alcos Colonial Market on Tamalpais Drive in Corte Madera, the department said. A statement by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control said: “Businesses that fail to follow the law could face legal or administrative discipline, including loss of license.”
A member of the store staff declined to comment.
