Don’t be surprised if some shops in Allen are a little more timid about selling you hemp-derived THC products. The Allen Police Department have notified vape and CBD shops in the city that investigations have found some of them are selling products with illegal levels of THC.
“This letter shall serve as notice that the Allen Police Department has identified cannabidiol (CBD) and vape establishments, similar to yours, within the city of Allen are selling illegal THC products, whether knowingly or unknowingly,” the letter said. “As such, APD would like to advise you of such actions and possible consequences necessary due to violations of state law regarding the manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance…”
Allen police didn’t respond to a request for comment, but the letter said that through investigations it has become clear that some of these shops are selling various THC products in violation of state law. “Products seized by APD being sold at establishments within the city have been laboratory tested for THC content,” the letter said. “Such tests have identified that, at least, the following products have been sold with a THC content well above the limits prescribed in Chapter 443 [of the Texas Health and Safety Code].”
The letter identified several products that supposedly tested over the legal limit for THC. These included loose leaf “hemp” flower, Exclusive Hemp Farms wax, Sugar THCa wax, Toast’d pre-rolls, Alien pre-rolls, Exclusive pre-rolls, Pure Luna Rocket pre-rolls and Puro Exoctics pre-rolls.
Allen police said it will take “any and all action to remedy the illegal business activities.”
“Please be aware that these products, and potentially more, failed to comply with requirements set forth regarding the production and regulation of hemp per Chapter 443,” the letter said. These products are classified as penalty group 2 controlled substances, according to the department.
