Companies can’t say Delta-9 is in their food or drinks in SC | Business – The Post and Courier
Posted: January 27, 2024 at 3:56 am
Following the recent boom in products advertised as containing Delta-9, South Carolinas health department has issued a letter to the hemp industry warning that the substance isn't an approved food-and-beverage ingredient.
The new guidance is a far cry from outlawing cannabinoids in food and drink, but affects a budding industry that has sprung up to promote Delta-8 and Delta-9 seltzers as an alternative to alcohol. It will have a significant impact on how manufacturers do business in the state, and it raises concerns in the industry about consumer confusion and potential risk.
Delta-9 is the most prominent form of the psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol popularly known as THC found in the cannabis plant. Delta-8 is a less common, less psychoactive form of THC.
For Matt Skinner, co-owner of Charleston's High Rise Beverage Company, clarity on Delta-9 has been long-awaited. He's glad to have it, though he said the agency's guidance on product labeling leaves much to be desired.
The Jan. 22 letter outlined the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control's stance that full-spectrum hemp oil and hemp-seed derivatives are the only approved cannabis-based ingredients so long as they contain no more than .3 percent Delta-9 on a dry-weight basis, are food-grade and come from a certified supplier.
DHEC goes further, saying that product labels shouldnt declare that the product contains THC, CBD or Delta-9 though all of them naturally occur in hemp oil.
"They've stated that they don't want descriptive labels on the can," Skinner said. "The irony of this letter is that it poses consumer risk."
The agency asserts that by advertising these chemicals, the manufacturer is implying the product is no longer a food item, but a drug.
Delta-9 was federally legalized by the 2018 farm bill, so long as it appears in no more than .3 percent concentration on a dry-weight basis.
The law was silent on whether Delta-8is legal, which ledthe South Carolina Attorney General to issue a statement saying that it isnt.
The 2021 opinion has been the governing doctrine in the state despite lacking the legal weight of legislation.
DHEC's new guidance echoes the sentiment that Delta-8 THC is not permitted on its own as a food-and-drink additive, but it doesn't outright ban the chemical because it naturally occurs in legal hemp.
The Food and Drug Administration has said that it is illegal to sell any food or drink that THC and CBD have been added to in interstate commerce. Hemp seed and hemp seed oil, however, are FDA-cleared for food and drink products.
DHEC's letter affirms that that hemp seed and its derivates are allowed in the state. It adds that full spectrum hemp oil an extract from the cannabis plant can also be used as an ingredient so long as it is tested for and contains less than .3 percent Delta-9 THC.
Currently, companies like High Rise Beverage Co.and Rebel Rabbit,a Greenville-based hemp seltzer company, advertise the milligrams of THC on the can.
The guidance will prevent manufacturers from telling consumers exactly how much Delta-9 THC is in their products.
DHEC refers to the practice as "dosage instructions" that "gives the impression not of a food or beverage, but of an illegal drug, or of a food or beverage that has been poisoned by THC."
Skinner said without descriptive labels, consumers might not know what they're getting.
"We as a brand and people in the industry have a responsibility to tell people what's in these cans," Skinner said.

The letter doesn't address whether infused food and beverage products need to be labeled "psychoactive," though a DHEC spokesperson said no mention of psychoactive properties is required because "less than 0.3 percent Delta 9 THC is not a drug."
But a product can contain several milligrams of THC while still falling below the .3 percent threshold.
For this reason, both High Rise and Rebel Rabbit's websitescaution consumers that drinking their beverages might result in drug test failure.
Rebel Rabbit declined an interview request by The Post and Courier about the guidance. Instead, the company issued a statement to say it is "in the process of assessing the details (of DHEC's letter) and the potential impact on our business and the hemp industry of South Carolina as a whole."
The letter comes as DHECs Food Safety program, which oversees products like Delta-9 seltzers, plans to be absorbed by the states Department of Agriculture later this year.
Eva Moore, a spokesperson for the Department of Agriculture, said the oversight will transition on July 1.
As we work toward the transition ... we are planning and evaluating how to integrate all those programs into our existing ones, Moore said. I cant speak yet to how well handle a future regulatory role that we dont have yet.

Global CBD Consumer Health Market Analysis & Forecast 2024-2034: Government Reforms and Growing Awareness … – GlobeNewswire
Posted: at 3:56 am
Dublin, Jan. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global CBD Consumer Health Market Analysis & Forecast 2024-2034" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global CBD consumer health market was valued at USD 17.38 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 109.87 billion by 2034, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.25% from 2024 to 2034. The market is witnessing significant growth due to favorable government reforms, increased awareness of CBD health benefits, expanding legalization of hemp, rising demand for hemp-derived CBD products, and the adoption of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) for health benefits without intoxication. Additionally, the market is boosted by the recognition of various health benefits of cannabidiol, augmented marketing efforts, and the continuous launch of CBD consumer health products.
The rising launch of CBD consumer health products is expected to propel market growth, driven by the increasing utilization of CBD in various forms such as oils, capsules, topicals, gummies, and integration into food and beverages. The expanding role of cannabis in healthcare, particularly for medicinal applications, is contributing to the growth of the CBD consumer health market. Notable product launches, such as +PlusCBD Daily Balance THC-Free Gummies and Softgels by CV Sciences, Inc., exemplify the industry's commitment to providing consumers with wellness benefits.
In terms of product segments, nutraceuticals led the revenue generation in 2023, driven by the widespread use of CBD-infused nutraceutical products in weight management, sports nutrition, and overall health and wellness. Consumer preferences are shifting towards dietary supplements with organic ingredients, supported by positive government reforms and the introduction of new products, such as those by Medical Marijuana, Inc. Medical over-the-counter (OTC) products are expected to witness the fastest growth, attributed to the legalization of CBD products, resulting in increased sales for sleep disorders, dermatological treatments, and OTC analgesic products.
Among distribution channels, retail pharmacies held the highest revenue in 2023, driven by the accessibility of over-the-counter CBD medications and products in these establishments due to the legalization of CBD products. The convenience of online platforms is expected to contribute to the fastest growth in the online stores segment during the forecast period, as many companies have established online platforms for CBD product sales.
Geographically, North America is projected to dominate the market, with a significant revenue share during the forecast period. This is attributed to the high concentration of CBD companies, lenient regulations, increasing consumption, growing awareness of health benefits, popularity of CBD-based food and health products, and continuous product launches. In contrast, the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to experience the fastest growth, driven by rising awareness and acceptance of CBD's health benefits, particularly in treating various health conditions, coupled with initiatives by leading market players to introduce CBD products to the region. For instance, the partnership between Aurora Cannabis Inc. and MedReleaf Australia resulted in the introduction of CraftPlant, a medical cannabis brand tailored for the Australian market in February 2023.

Cities Skylines 2 goes full Cyberpunk 2077 in stunning new city building game coming to Steam – PCGamesN
Posted: at 3:55 am
Cities Skylines 2 remains the ideal building game if you like details, in-depth management, and the constant pressure of trying to maintain a proper road network. There comes a moment however, when all the highways are laid, houses are zoned, and the economy is finally humming along, that you can sit back and just gaze at your creation. You take that feeling and you combine it with the moody, sometimes dystopian world of Cyberpunk 2077. Neon lights. Flying cars. Skyscrapers that pierce the cloudline. A beautiful new city builder, dripping in atmosphere, blends CS2s superb creation tools with the Blade Runner-inspired visuals of CDPRs latest masterwork. And its coming to Steam in 2024.
This is Dystopika, a unique city building game from independent developer Voids Within. Some of the most wonderful moments in Cyberpunk 2077 sitting on the hills with Panam, sharing a drink with River on the water tower are made spectacular by CD Projekt Reds beautiful city design. On the surface, the neon-drenched, coolly efficient worlds of Cyberpunk, Blade Runner, Akira, and myriad others look gorgeous. But they always hide a secret darkness. This is what Dystopika wants to capture. As the designer and building of your own cyberpunk metropolis, you get to create something that is equally stunning and bleak.
Compared to other city builders, which often feel like carefully balanced, high-stakes strategy games, Dystopika is all about the mood. Theres no budget, no stats screen telling you to build more houses, no crumbling road network. The only limit here is your imagination. Take your time. Build what you like. Drink in the vibe. Its like sitting by the window in your high-rise megabuilding, sipping from a glass, and listening to synthwave. Launching in 2024, you can already wishlist Dystopika right here.

Cyberpunk 2077 Player Finds Hidden Message in the Game – GameRant
Posted: at 3:55 am
Highlights
One Cyberpunk 2077 player has discovered a hidden message about an "evil government" that ties into the game's overarching themes while exploring Pacifica. Their observant discovery serves as yet another reminder that Cyberpunk 2077 absolutely oozes attention to detail.
CD Projekt Red's dystopian RPG was never short on Easter eggs. But the developer also never really stopped adding more hidden content to the game throughout its three-year support cycle. As a result, Cyberpunk 2077 is nowadays still full of secrets that many are yet to discover, even if they have already spent hundreds of hours playing the game.
The latest example of such an Easter egg was unearthed by Reddit user CommercialLeg2439, who found out that one of the game's most recognizable landmarks contains a message hiding in plain sight. They happened upon that realization while exploring Cyberpunk 2077's Pacifica district at night, which is when the giant "Grand Imperial Mall" sign mounted at the top of the eponymous building caught their attention due to its selectively lit letters. The illuminated letters spelled out the term "gra d imperi l mali," which the player suspected was Latin.
Although their initial attempt at a translation may not have been entirely successful, the hunch itself appears to have been correct; taking out the stray single letters from the lit sign produces the term "gra imperi mali," which most online translation apps interpret as Latin for "thanks to the evil empire" or "by the grace of the evil empire." An alternative translation would be that of an instruction to "wray"i.e., denounce or betraythe said empire. Since the Grand Imperial Mall was built with the blessing of some of the most powerful organizations in Cyberpunk 2077's lore and the game itself is all about raging against the machine, all three translations tie into the RPG's overarching themes.
Given how this obscure detail has only now emerged online, over three years since Cyberpunk 2077 hit the market, it is plausible that the hidden message wasn't part of the game from day one. CommercialLeg2439 suspects as much, having suggested that CDPR might have added the Latin Easter egg around the time of Cyberpunk 2077's massive 2.0 update, which saw the developer retouch many areas of Night City.
Whatever the case may be, the fact that new observations of this sort continue to surface online after all these years stands in testament to the incredible effort that went into designing the game's many environments. And while CDPR recently stopped churning out new content for its 2020 RPG, there is a good chance that Cyberpunk 2077 still hides some secrets that are yet to be uncovered, like the solution to the puzzling FF:06:B5 mystery that even leaked into The Witcher 3.
Cyberpunk 2077 is an RPG set in a future dystopian world. Players take up the role of V, who works as a mercenary in Night City in California. Gameplay involves branching dialogue, open-world exploration, character classes, and combat.

Dystopika is a chill city-builder where you can create the cyberpunk cityscape of your dreams – Gamesradar
Posted: at 3:55 am
Dystopika is an upcoming chill cyberpunk city-builder which promises no stress or goals - just you and your imagination.
Dystopika was announced yesterday, January 23, via the debut trailer just below. Despite being billed as a "dark city sandbox," the game looks decidedly more chill than its murky aesthetic - you're free to do whatever you want, entirely in your own time.
The trailer above shows the player is allowed to create free-standing monolithic towers and plant them wherever they want, turning them and customizing them to create the city of their dreams. There's even the option to adjust the environment however you want, so if LA out of Blade Runner 2049 is more your vibe, go for it.
The city-builder looks capable of creating cyberpunk cities from the likes of Ghost in the Shell or Akira. Only, you know, without all the murder and social strife, I can only assume, given Dystopika is being marketed as a far more chill and relaxing experience than other city-builders.
There's no management element to this city-builder, like you might find with other games like Frostpunk or Cities: Skylines 2. You're quite literally just free to do whatever you want, whenever you want, and since there's no overarching goal in Dystopika, you can take all the time you want.
Currently, Dystopika is set to release in 2024, according to its Steam page, and it appears only a PC release is on the cards. Keep an eye on developer Voids Within's Twitch channel for any future broadcast about the new game.
Head over to our Cities: Skylines 2 tips and tricks guide if you're looking for a helping hand in getting started with one of the latest city-builders.

Make the Night City of your dreams with this cyberpunk city sandbox builder – Rock Paper Shotgun
Posted: at 3:55 am
My inbox is absolutely rammed with early Steam Next Fest demos at the moment. Honestly, did no one remember that February's Next Fest starts in, you know, February, in a week a bit's time this year? I'm all for getting a few things early to make the deluge of demos a bit more manageable to cover, but this year has just been a teensy bit insane. Now there's too many things to look at in advance, but hey, I'm making steady progress, and you've probably seen the fruits of a couple of these this week already. Next on the list is Dystopika, a toy-like sandbox citybuilder that's sort of in the same vein as the lovely Summerhouse I played earlier this week, but also lives at the exact opposite end of the mood and vibes scale. Whereas Summerhouse is about creating diddly little cute streets with sunny Mediterranean vibes, Dystopika is effectively: Build Your Own Blade Runner.

Cyberpunk devs promise new patch to sort out most common remaining issues – ReadWrite
Posted: at 3:55 am
Cyberpunk 2077 is no stranger to large patches. Ever since i9ts botched launch back in the day, the devs at CD Projekt Red have not left the poor thing alone, constantly working away in the background to make it the game that was promised all those years ago. And a fine job they have done of it too. Indeed, the Phantom Liberty DLC sold over two million copies before the end of the year alone.
But with each new patch obviously comes new bugs that is the nature of the beast unfortunately and when version 2.0 dropped, just ahead of Phantom Liberty, it introduced a few new creepy crawlies into the code that now need squashing.
Fortunately a post on X today shows they are on it. The official Cyberpunk 2077 posted earlier, We are aiming to have a new patch for #Cyberpunk2077 out sometime next week. It will tackle the most common issues reported by players, including finisher animations.
Stay tuned for more info coming after the weekend.
There were no further details unveiled but the issue with finishing moves seems to be fixed as the account also added a nodding dog gif when a commenter asked if we were to get the full array of finishing moves back.
Earlier this week CDPR confirmed that work was to begin on the next game in the universe of its other huge franchise, The Witcher with the studio hoping to have over 400 people working on it by the middle of the year. We cant imagine finding staff will be too difficult at the moment as all the other companies are slashing their own workforces in mass layoffs, despite making millions in profits each year.
Work on a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 is also at the drawing board stage.
