CHICAGO — State regulators began enforcing strict new restrictions on intoxicating hemp-derived THC products Thursday, Nov. 12, reclassifying high-potency items as regulated cannabis and prohibiting their sale outside licensed dispensaries. Under updated provisions of the Illinois Hemp Act and the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act, any consumable or topical product containing more than 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container is now legally defined as cannabis. Businesses lacking a state dispensary license are barred from selling such products ahead of a broader federal ban on intoxicating hemp items scheduled to take effect Dec. 11. The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, working alongside the Cannabis Regulation Oversight Office and state law enforcement partners, is leading the compliance push.
