Some Virginia businesses have been hit with massive fines for violating the state’s new law regarding the regulation of hemp and CBD products — and so far, two businesses in central Virginia have had to dish out thousands of dollars for non-compliance.

Documents obtained by 8News show Smoker’s World in Henrico County was fined $74,250 for multiple violations. A violation letter from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, stated an inspection was conducted in early August. It found that the store sold 40 edible hemp products that weren’t compliant with the law.

The store was found to be selling products with a THC concentration higher than 0.3%, as well as selling products in non child-proof packaging and selling edible CBD products that were in shapes that may appeal to kids. The store was also found non-compliant for not having the necessary permit to sell CBD products, among other violations.
