The City Council Committee on License and Consumer Protection on Wednesday advanced a citywide ban on the sale of products containing hemp-derived cannabinoids, restricting the sale of the products — some of which mimic the effects of cannabis — to licensed cannabis retailers only. 

The license committee voted 10-6 to pass the legislation (O2025-0021018) over the objections of representatives from the hemp industry and the mayor’s administration.
