Several businesses in Towns County were raided recently by state and local authorities following an undercover operation into the sale of “illegal intoxicating products.”
These products were disguised as recreational hemp products, the Towns County Sheriff’s Office (TCSO) Fox 5 reports.
Investigators say products being sold behind the counter appeared to be legal retail items but were later determined to exceed allowable THC limits or contain prohibited substances under Georgia law.
During the operation, authorities seized a large quantity of items, including high-THCA cannabis flower, THC vape cartridges, intoxicating gummies and edibles, cannabis-derived products and enhanced kratom tablets.
Officials also recovered more than $21,900 in cash believed to be tied to illegal sales. Investigators are continuing to catalog evidence and determine the total value of the seized products.
