THC drinks could soon be banned in NC. How will it affect Charlotte businesses?

For some, a night out no longer has to end with a cocktail, a beer or a glass of wine. A can of THC-infused seltzer offers another way to enjoy the festivities, without necessarily drinking alcohol. The beverages, which contain tetrahydrocannabinol — the primary psychoactive compound found in cannabis that produces a “high” — appeal to customers who are sober-curious, abstaining from alcohol or want to try something different. But their presence in the North Carolina beverage market is facing an uncertain future as lawmakers consider tighter restrictions on hemp products. A federal law originally scheduled to take effect Nov. 12 would narrow the definition of legal hemp, eliminating most THC-infused drinks containing more than 0.4 milligrams of THC per container. Congress has since delayed those restrictions until Dec. 11. North Carolina lawmakers have also considered similar restrictions through House Bill 328 , but the bill remains stalled in the House Rules Committee. Rep. Tricia Cotham, who was a co-sponsor of the bill, lost her re-election bid earlier this month, meaning passage of the bill could be more difficult with Democrats set to take control of the House in January, The News & Observer reported .

Charlotte's airport has an approved new airline deal

Charlotte City Council approved a new Airline Use and Lease Agreement (AULA) for Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its signatory airlines. Why it matters: The new deal, which begins on Jan. 1, 2027, keeps the signatory airlines around for the next 10 and a half years and allows for a five-year extension. CLT's signatory airlines are American, Delta, Frontier, Southwest and United. Driving the news: Council approved the AULA Monday night in an 8-2 vote. Council members JD Mazuera Arias and Reneé Perkins Johnson voted against it. More than 50 people signed up to speak to address council. Some advocated for the deal and some against. Advocates from Atrium Health, Novant Health, Trane Technologies, Charlotte Area Chamber of Commerce, North Carolina Restaurant and Lodging Association, Charlotte Regional Business Alliance and local business owners — some of whom have a presence at the airport — advocated for the deal. The other side: But the people who told council members they "keep the airport running" said they don't feel seen or heard. They asked council to delay their vote on the AULA. State law does not allow the city to intervene in subcontractor pay . " We've gotta take this fight to

Meet Quinn Gilgan: the 25-pound corgi who literally ran amok at Sunday’s Panthers game

When Sunday’s Carolina Panthers game reached halftime, 12 corgis took to the field to race. But after the race ended, one of the corgis – Quinn – was still on the run. Quinn is one year old, 25 pounds, and short-legged – even for a corgi – but she was a blur on the field as she fled from and dodged anyone who tried to grab or tackle her.

12 North Carolina Restaurants That Know How To Make Biscuits And Gravy Right

One Asheville spot serves cathead biscuits, a name that comes from biscuits roughly as big as a cat’s head. That alone made me sit up a little straighter. Then I learned the same place lets you pick a gravy the way other cafes let you pick a muffin. Another kitchen in Charlotte never closes, so sausage gravy is on the table at 3 AM if you want it.
