The city’s buzzkill ban on certain cannabis-derived CBD products went into effect on Monday.
The city Health Code now prohibits businesses from adding the marijuana derivative cannabidiol to food or drinks after the Food and Drug Administration determined that using CBD as an additive was unlawful.
City health inspectors will now look for CBD food and beverages as part of routine safety inspections, though they won’t begin issuing violations until Oct. 1. Violators could be subject to fines from $250 to $600.
