Illinois Tightens Rules for Shops Selling Higher-THC Products, With Steep Fines for Violators

Must read

Shops in Illinois that offer THC products will face stricter restrictions. Selling any product containing more than 0.4 milligrams of THC will require a proper permit.

 

Products with a THC content above the 0.4-milligram threshold will now be treated as cannabis. Illinois officials said the safeguards focus on three key areas. First, they are meant to protect children from products that resemble candy or come in packaging that appeals to them. Another goal is to protect consumers from products that are untested or improperly labeled.

With the tighter rules, Illinois authorities are also taking enforcement action against businesses that illegally pass themselves off as licensed marijuana retailers. If a business is found to be selling without the required license, it will face a $10,000 penalty and an order to stop the prohibited activity.

State officials said that anyone who spots a shop violating the new rules should file a complaint with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.
