Gov. Pritzker Signs Illinois Law Banning Sale Of Intoxicating Hemp Products To Anyone Under 21
A federal ban on intoxicating hemp products will go into effect in November
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker signed a bill Friday that restricts the sale of intoxicating hemp products to the same ages as recreational marijuana.
Products covered under the law include Delta-8, Delta-9, THC-P and HHC products that are currently unregulated and sold outside of Illinois’ legalized adult-use cannabis market.
Recreational marijuana is legal in Illinois for adults aged 21 and over.
The bill, SB 3222, immediately bans the sale of intoxicating hemp products to anyone under the age of 21, like with recreational marijuana.
It also subjects intoxicating hemp products to the same regulations as recreational marijuana as defined in the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act, which includes requiring child-proof packaging, banning misleading marketing and packaging made to imitate consumer brands that appeal to kids, and ensuring existing cannabis regulations apply to intoxicating hemp products.
