Around 300 Illinois shops selling THC-infused products could soon go out of business if legislation currently being debated in the Illinois House passes.
House Bill 4293, if passed, would ban the sale of all THC products derived from hemp, including Delta-8 and Delta-9 products. Proponents claim that these products are dangerous, unregulated, and have been marketed to youth.THC, the psychoactive component in cannabis, can also come from the hemp plant. Chi’Tiva, a café lounge in Wicker Park , has been selling Delta-9-infused drinks, pastries, and candies since April 2022. Owner Charles Wu says the bill is a direct threat to stores like his.
"There are 800 pages of regulations that govern cannabis, and none that regulate these stores selling intoxicating products from the same plant," said Jason Erkes, spokesperson for Cresco Labs’ Sunnyside Dispensaries.Wu says he and other hemp business owners have lobbied for regulations that would treat their products the same as legal cannabis, but have not succeeded.
