passed an ordinance Tuesday night that prohibits license tobacco stores from selling any products that contain THC — the ingredient in marijuana that makes users feel "high."
The ordinance was introduced after the village discovered a "gray area" in state law that allowed products containing THC that weren't FDA approved to be sold at smoke shops.
"The steps we’re taking today are aimed at safeguarding our community, especially youth who may be unaware of the harm these unregulated products can cause," Elk Grove Village Mayor Craig Johnson said in a statement. "Elk Grove Village is the first community in Illinois to identify this loophole. We encourage other communities to follow our lead and, more importantly, for state lawmakers to take swift action to prohibit the sale of unregulated THC products at smoke shops and other establishments throughout the state."
The village says tobacco stores that violate the ordinance can face fines up to $500, in addition to their business license being suspended or completely taken away.that I have read and agree
