Enforcement officers with the Alcohol and Marijuana Control office seized CBD oil from several marijuana stores on Thursday.
Sara Chambers, acting director of the office, wrote in a release the oil fell under the state regulation definition of marijuana. Stores selling the products that hadn't gone through the state's testing and packaging requirements were violating state law, she wrote.
