Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes says a law barring the sale of THC products without a proper license will be enforced.
Mayes gave notice in letters to law enforcement and retailers.
Mayes says some retailers have claimed the Federal Farm Bill of 2018 allows the sale of hemp based-products that contain no more than 0.3% THC.
Arizona’s more stringent law prohibits any THC products from being sold without a Marijuana Establishment License.
It is not clear what businesses specifically were sent the letters. But sellers of hemp-based products like Total Wine and Wake N Bakery in Tempe do not appear to have a license, according to the Arizona Department of Health Services database.
“Ultimately, the products will have to come off the shelves or there will be an enforcement piece to this," Yavapai County Sheriff David Rhodes said.
Mayes gave retailers until April 24 to remove those items.
