Chicago Suburb Elgin City Approves Ban On D8 And D9 Edibles
The ordinance bans the advertisement, display, sale and delivery
Following a contentious, hourlong discussion on the dais, the Elgin City Council on Wednesday finalized a citywide ban on the sale of synthetically derived THC edible products by a 5-4 margin.
The ordinance bans the advertisement, display, sale and delivery of Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, products without a state license. It would not criminalize possession and would only apply to edibles.
Unlike cannabis, which is heavily regulated and taxed by the state, synthetically derived THC products are unregulated, untested and potentially dangerous, opponents say.
The products, most of which contain synthetically derived versions of Delta-8 THC and Delta-9 THC, are frequently sold at vape and smoke shops as well as gas stations and convenience stores as edible gummies in packaging that resembles candy.
