There's an unexpected consequence inside the deal to end the federal government shutdown: making hemp products illegal .

At Surdyk's in northeast Minneapolis, THC drinks stand out for their popularity.

"There's teas, there's ones that are more like soda," said co-owner Melissa Surdyk

The drinks make up for 10% of sales at her liquor and cheese shop, according to Surdyk.

"It's a product that we want to continue to have on our shelves and offer to customers, and you know, give them what they want and what they're asking for," Surdyk said.

As part of the Senate compromise to end the government shutdown, THC would be limited to 0.4 milligrams per container.

For perspective, products at Surdyk's contain 5 milligrams per serving and 10 milligrams for two servings.
