Update (4:19pm):<\/em> In a press release, Bismarck Police confirmed that products obtained from Bisman Food Co-op and Terry’s Health Products have tested positive for Cannabinol – a Schedule 1 controlled substance.<\/p>\n

One of the two products tested from\u00a0Terry’s Health Products and all three items tested from Bisman Food Co-op\u00a0came back positive.<\/p>\n

Authorities are not\u00a0pursuing charges for either business, citing that they were “unaware that Cannabinol became a Schedule 1 controlled substance in December of 2016.” However,\u00a0further distribution of the illegal products could warrant charges. A revised statement clarified that “CBD soil has always been illegal.”<\/p>\n

The press release further clarified the investigation: “The Bismarck Police Department would like to make it clear that they did not conduct an organized surprise raid on either merchant.”<\/p>\n

Authorities are investigating two Bismarck retailers for allegedly distributing\u00a0products that were recently classified as a Schedule\/Class 1 drug.<\/p>\n

According KX News<\/a>, authorities “raided” Bisman Food Co-op and Terry’s Health Products Thursday (5\/11\/2017) afternoon in search of hemp-based CBD oil products. Such products were declared a Schedule 1 drug last year… classified as the most dangerous. Violation is a felony punishable up to 20 years in prison.<\/p>\n

Both businesses state they were unaware of the status change relating to CBD products. Terry’s Health Products has posted a response on their Facebook Page (see below), which explicitly states they are complying with authorities.<\/p>\n
