Wheaton is poised to join an increasing number of suburban towns in banning the sale of certain psychoactive products that are typically available at gas stations and vape shops.
The city has drafted an ordinance prohibiting the sale of products containing substances such as delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC.
The Food and Drug Administration in 2024 warned of several companies selling delta-8 THC products that closely resemble popular snack food brands “by using similar brand names, logos, or pictures on packaging that consumers, especially children, may confuse with traditional foods.”
Wheaton has also moved to ban the sale of kratom, recreational nitrous oxide and tianeptine products.
According to the FDA, tianeptine has been referred to as “gas station heroin” with product names including Tianaa, Zaza, Neptune’s Fix, Pegasus and TD Red. It’s not approved by the FDA for any medical use.
