Albuquerque council passes ban on intoxicating hemp products that exceed federal THC threshold
Jun. 5—The Albuquerque City Council voted Monday to restrict the sale of intoxicating hemp-derived products, citing concerns that children had too much access to the substances being sold on gas station and smoke shop shelves. The council said the products, including delta-8 THC, delta-10 THC, and THC-A products, may have more THC in them than federally allowed. The ordinance, which was sponsored by Councilor Dan Lewis and passed on a 7-2 vote, prohibits operating a business that chemically or synthetically alters hemp to exceed 0.3% THC. It also prohibits the sale, advertisement, offer for sale, or manufacture of the intoxicating hemp products. That means purchasable items like gummies, cartridges for vape devices, drinks, hemp cigarettes and other hemp-derived products must have less than 0.3% THC, or else the business selling them could lose its license. It doesn't apply to hemp products without THC or any legal cannabis. Federal law allows the sale of hemp-derived products that contain less than 0.3% THC, although that is widely seen as a loophole in the U.S., where cannabis is still federally illegal. But some of those products have higher levels of THC, which, Lewis argued Monday, was a problem. "This is a product that's not being regulated by the state," Lewis said. "It's really poison that's being marketed to children." No data was presented about how prevalent the products are. Visits to Albuquerque smoke shops and independent gas stations revealed that buying intoxicating hemp-derived products was easy to do and only sometimes required a license. But questions abound about the future of the ordinance. The 2018 Farm Bill, the federal government's primary policy tool for regulating food and agriculture, as well as establishing the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, removed hemp and its byproducts from the list of controlled substances. The same move allowed for the proliferation of cannabidiol (CBD) products. However, the federal legislation made no mention of delta-8 and delta-10, which is derived from hemp, not cannabis, allowing companies to produce and sell items such as vape device cartridges, intoxicating hemp cigarettes and edible gummies. Councilor Brook Bassan raised the question of enforcement during Monday's meeting. "Are we even going to be able to do this as a city?" Bassan asked. Samantha Sengel, the chief administrative officer, said the city could not test the intoxicating hemp products and would, therefore, have to send them to a laboratory for testing. She added that the city's Environmental Health Department had concerns about achieving compliance from smoke shops, given the significant personnel commitment required to send inspectors to every smoke shop, gas station and CBD seller in the city. "Everyone is in the fact-finding stage right now to know what that impact would be," Sengel said before the council approved the measure, adding that they'd likely have to come before the council in the future to ask for money to fund enforcement mechanisms, whether that be more staff or more money. Educating smoke shops and gas stations about the law change, another provision of the ordinance, would be accomplishable, Sengel said. Councilor Tammy Fiebelkorn joined Bassan in opposing the bill. "This is not a regulation. This is a prohibition," Fiebelkorn said.

New shop featuring hand-made donuts opens on Dixie Highway in time for National Donut Day
Coinciding with National Donut Day, the new Dixie Hwy Donuts in West Palm Beach will celebrate their grand opening on Friday, June 6. This new mecca for the sacred, circular pastry is located on South Dixie Highway about midway between Southern and Forest Hill Boulevards and had a soft opening May 30. The new restaurant is owned and operated by donut veteran Sarah Callis. Definitely not her first foray into the game, Callis has been perfecting her craft for over 25 years and got her start at the iconic, nearly 100-year-old Dixie Cream Donuts in Fort Pierce. Making all of their donuts by hand at the new shop, Callis said they use same yeast dough recipe that the popular Fort Pierce store has been using since 1929. Callis described donuts made using yeast-raised dough as "fluffy, lightweight, heavenly." This is not accomplished without putting in the time and effort. "Yeast donuts are actually a very hard craft. We make them by hand every single night... it's what sets our donuts apart." Honing her skills for years at the shop in Fort Pierce, Callis eventually moved to Pinehurst, North Carolina. There for several years, she opened and ran Southern Angel Donut Company before eventually moving back to Fort Pierce and purchasing Dixie Cream Donuts. Unfortunately, her purchase coincided with the pandemic and she ended up selling the business back to the original owner and set her sights south. Callis said that her two adult daughters still work at the store. Dixie Hwy Donuts will feature 25-plus varieties at all times. In addition to many traditional glazed, cake and filled donuts, they will also have several specialty donuts including the peach cobbler, strawberry shortcake, M&M, Fruity Pebbles, Samoa's, maple bacon, cinnamon rolls, and apple fritters. Callis said the "Apple fritter is hands down one of our most popular sellers." Dixie Hwy Donuts owner Sarah Callis says their apple fritter is a top seller and is often the first thing they sell out of. Get there early! In addition to over two dozen varieties of donuts, Dixie Hwy Donuts will also offer milkshakes and smoothies. Among those milkshakes: Cookies & Cream and the Sin-A-Bun made with vanilla ice cream, crushed cinnamon toast, chocolate and caramel drizzle and whipped cream. Though Callis is confident on the donut side, she said the milkshake idea was her business partner's. Knowing how busy the donut business can get she laughed about her business partner saying "You better pull your pants on… it's about to get crazy." Callis said "I'm very excited to be in West Palm Beach... very blessed and grateful."
