伊利诺伊州即日起严查无证销售 THC 产品：每容器超0.4毫克按大麻管，违规每项最高罚1万美元
伊利诺伊州金融与专业监管厅（IDFPR）11月12日在 Chicago 宣布，随着对致醉性 THC 产品的新限制当日生效，该厅正联合大麻监管监督办公室与州执法伙伴采取行动，确保企业遵守州法、保护消费者免受无证产品侵害。
按《伊利诺伊州大麻法》与《大麻监管与税收法》确立的新要求，每容器总 THC 含量超过0.4毫克的可食用或外用产品不得无证销售；自11月12日起，超过这一含量的产品在相关州法下一律按「大麻」处理。全国性的致醉性大麻产品禁令定于12月11日生效。
无证销售大麻的企业可能面临执法行动，包括勒令停止令与民事罚款。IDFPR 厅长 Mario Treto, Jr. 说，伊利诺伊州投入了大量资源建立一个讲问责、透明与消费者保护的大麻产业，这些标准必须得到执行。
IDFPR 说，初期执法将重点针对三类情形：保护儿童远离外形类似糖果或采用儿童友好包装的产品；保护消费者免受未经检测或标签不实的产品侵害；对冒充持牌大麻药房的企业采取行动。该厅已经走访了涉嫌无证销售大麻的企业，并将继续调查、依法提出正式投诉。
处罚方面，违规者可被处以每项违规最高1万美元罚款，无证经营每持续一天算一项独立违规；州税务厅刑事调查局还可就税务类违规执法，民事罚款为1,000至3,000美元。居民如怀疑某企业无证销售大麻产品，可向 IDFPR 投诉，并尽量提供企业名称、地点、所售产品与照片等资料。

Illinois Moves to Enforce New THC Product Rules: Sales Without a License Face Penalties of Up to $10,000 per Offense
The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) announced in Chicago on November 12 that, as new restrictions on intoxicating THC products took effect that day, it is working with the Cannabis Regulation Oversight Office and state enforcement partners to ensure businesses comply with Illinois law and consumers are protected from unlicensed products.
Under requirements established by the Illinois Hemp Act and the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act, consumable or topical products containing more than 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container may not be sold without a license; as of November 12, products above that threshold are treated as cannabis under the relevant state laws. A similar nationwide ban on intoxicating hemp products is scheduled to take effect on December 11.
Businesses selling cannabis without the necessary license may face enforcement actions, including cease and desist orders and civil penalties. IDFPR Secretary Mario Treto, Jr. said Illinois has invested significant resources in building a cannabis industry based on accountability, transparency and consumer protection, and that the state intends to enforce those standards.
IDFPR said its initial enforcement will focus on protecting children from products resembling candy or using child-friendly packaging, protecting consumers from untested or mislabeled products, and acting against businesses falsely presenting themselves as licensed dispensaries. The department has already visited businesses suspected of unlicensed cannabis sales and will continue to investigate and file formal complaints.
Violators may face civil penalties of up to $10,000 per offense, with each day of continued unlicensed practice a separate violation. The Illinois Department of Revenue's Bureau of Criminal Investigations may also pursue tax-related enforcement, with civil fines of $1,000 to $3,000. Residents who suspect a business is selling cannabis products without a license are encouraged to file a complaint with IDFPR, including the business name, location, products offered and any photos or documentation.
