Every fareway in the state is carrying these now. Two brands, including climbing kites.
And then there’s this:
Most Consumable Hemp-Based Cannabinoid Products Would Be Banned Under Another GOP Committee’s New Bill
A GOP-led House committee has put forward a large-scale spending bill that contains language that would effectively ban most consumable hemp-derived cannabinoid products, including delta-8 THC and CBD items containing any “quantifiable” amount of THC. The House Appropriations Subcommittee on...

I've gotta think Fareway is pretty unhappy about it and imagine they could get in some ears of politicians about this (probably wishful thinking)
A lot of businesses are unhappy about it. It’s not just the retailers.
It’s classic R behavior. Strip something away, then act like you are doing everyone a solid by reinstating part of what was stripped away, fleecing everyone and lining your pockets along the way.
I keep thinking eventually Rs will overplay their hand. How can they be on the wrong side of so many 60-70% issues and still get votes. But their brainwashed cult refuses to walk away.
Iowa hemp group says it will sue over new THC limits and sell products to help fund it
A group of Iowa hemp businesses and industry advocates says the state's planned regulations on THC potency "continually moved the goalposts."

Also, if Fareway is selling these, hyvee isn’t far behind. They can’t not have something on the shelves that the competition has.

It is unclear if this is part of the earlier announcement of a suit by the H.E.M.P. Coalition (of which CK and Field Day do not appear among membership) or not.

Iowa-based beverage companies sue the state over new THC limits • Iowa Capital Dispatch
Two Iowa companies are suing the state over its interpretation of a new law that restricts THC levels in adult beverages.

PSA: If these lawsuits don't generate a stop in the new regs, you only have 11 days to snarf up local inventory. Unless of course you're good with $7 for a 2.5 mg beverage, soon to be 4 mg max.
Based on this language:
"Serving" means the size or portion customarily consumed per eating occasion, expressed in a common household measure as established in table 2 of 21 CFR 101.12 (as amended through May 27, 2016). If a solid consumable hemp product is packaged in a manner that includes more than a single serving, each serving must be clearly identified and severable from the other servings in the container. If a liquid consumable hemp product is packaged in a manner that includes more than a single serving, the number of servings must be conspicuously labeled. Liquid consumable hemp products shall be packaged in a container that holds a minimum of 12 fluid ounces.
I don't think this holds true anymore. There can be more than one serving per container, it just has to be clearly labeled. Just have to have a MINIMUM of 12 ounces, but can have more than 1 serving. So the Berry Climbing Kits product (my personal favorite) would just need to be labeled as 2.5 servings and it would still be legal.
no do they not. I have sent comms to governors office I don't know how many times and have never heard back. At least when i send stuff to Ernst and Grassley i get responses even if they are ****** responses.
My understanding is if the store has a pharmacy then they can not sell these type of drinks.
As someone who is generally on the right side of the political spectrum I fully acknowledge that the new regulations set to take effect on July 1 are a stupid, unnecessary overreach which are trying to correct a problem that doesn't exist. It is nothing more than fun hater BS that could potentially destroy a legitimately harmless industry. So dumb. I hope the lawsuits are successful.
I've not seen it in any of the Cedar Rapids but Local Craft Cellar has pallets of Climbing Kites products on the floor.
I think you'd be more likely to run across this:
Day Dreaming: N. Liberty's Field Day is brewing its own hemp-derived THC beverage
Field Day Brewing Co. debuted its in-house cannabis-infused drink, Day Dreamer, on Feb. 23, welcoming a new era for hemp-derived THC drinks in Iowa.

Next Friday will be the big day. I believe odds are very strong that this joke "law" will be blocked from being enacted on July 1. (The judge was appointed to the federal court in 2012 )
