Milwaukee leaders look to restrict THC Delta-8 sales (MILWAUKEE)
Milwaukee city leaders want to restrict sales of T H C derived products. That’s after two children were sold gummies with the hemp derived Delta Eight chemical, which is a cousin to the usual chemical in hemp that gets users high. State law does not restrict the sale of those chemicals to anyone, and the city council is looking at a plan that would prevent sales to anyone under 21. That would not apply to the non-intoxicating C B D oils that also come from hemp. The council is expected to vote on the measure next week.
