Legislative Update: Keep CBD and Hemp Legal in Illinois
Updated Jan. 27, 2025:
For those who live in Chicago, we'd love your help. Email your support for protecting access to hemp wellness products to lucy.macedo@cityofchicago.org (BCC contact@cubbingtons.com) by 4 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 28.
Below is a sample email to edit as you like. Feel free to mention how much a shoppe like Cubbington's means to you!
Subject line: Protect my access to quality hemp products in Chicago To the Honorable William Hall, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Revenue; the Honorable Rossana Rodriguez Sanchez, Chairperson of the Committee on Health and Human Services; and Members of the City Council,
I am writing to urge your support for the continued access to legal hemp and cannabinoid products in the City of Chicago. These products are a valued part of healthcare alternatives for many people like me. I also support common-sense regulations to achieve this goal.
Your support in this matter is greatly appreciated!
Thank you, (your name w/ Chicago home address or ZIP code)
For context, Cubbington's Cabinet will be presenting during a subject matter hearing at City Hall at 12:30 this Thursday, Jan. 30. We and others representing the hemp industry in Chicago will share insights to help alderpeople steer clear of ordinances that would have very negative consequences for consumers, public safety, and our economy.
Prior to Thursday's hearing, the more email committee members receive about this subject, the better!
Some misguided ordinances are being introduced that would blindly ban the sale of all CBD and hemp products in Chicago. Our years-long position is it's critical to keep safe, federally legal CBD and hemp cannabinoid products available for adults and their pets. It's also critical that common-sense regulations are put in place that prohibit impure, illegitimate, mislabeled, untested products from being sold to anyone, anywhere.
Updated Jan. 24, 2025:
Although we won the battle against bad legislation during the lame duck session earlier this month, the war continues. Our friends and partners at Illinois Hemp Growers Association accurately summarized some of the disappointing antics witnessed in Springfield: Hemp Reform in Illinois: Fear Tactics and Political Games EXPOSED
For years, we've been fighting for smart regulation of the hemp and cannabis industries in Illinois. The new legislative session has begun in tandem with both good and bad city ordinances being proposed in Chicago. Regardless of jurisdiction, our fight remains full throttle for smart regulation that:
- Prohibits the sale of hemp cannabinoid products to those under 21
- Prohibits lookalike products and marketing to those under 21
- Prohibits products lacking independent, third-party lab testing
- Prohibits inadequate and inaccurate product labeling
- Prevents expanding flawed marijuana regulation that continues the War on Drugs while padding the pockets of the 1% in Illinois
Updated Jan. 3, 2025:
The same, problematic bill (proposed HB4293 we fought during the spring session) is on the verge of being forced through the Jan. 4-7 lame duck session.
Hidden in shell bill HB4293 amendments 2 and 3 and touted by supporters like Gov. Pritzker as “regulation” to "protect children", HB4293's actual language tells a very different story. Containing intentional or accidental contradictions and scientifically unsound definitions, HB4293 would ban all cannabinoids, including CBD, CBN, CBG, and CBC isolate.
HB4293 would severely reduce consumer access to federally legal wellness products while hemp products would only be available from the federally illegal marijuana industry that's demonstrated disinterest in non-intoxicating products for people and pets. Ironically, HB4293 would also benefit the illicit market and out-of-state retailers while decimating the hemp industry in Illinois, hurting our economy.
And yet, when it comes to protecting children, HB4293 lacks protections beyond what's been on the table for years via multiple bills from legislators not tied to the marijuana industry. Ironically, HB4293 would actually increase the accessibility of THC products to minors, which we staunchly oppose — just as anyone honestly concerned about protecting children should be.
As connective tissue between multiple Illinois-based hemp business associations, Cubbington's Cabinet will be alongside partners during the lame duck session in Springfield to continue increasing awareness of how HB4293 is not what it's made out to be. Lame duck session starts at 3 p.m. this Saturday, Jan. 4 and runs through Tuesday, Jan. 7 at the state capital in Springfield, IL.
For starters, join us at the Illinois Hemp Growers Association lobby day rally in the rotunda from 12-1:00 on Saturday.
Meanwhile, urge your Illinois State Representative to not allow HB4293 to come up for vote in the House during the lame duck session. It's a bad bill that's bad for Illinois.

Keep CBD and Hemp Legal in IL: End of Spring Session, May 29, 2024:
Thanks to everyone's help raising desperately needed awareness in Springfield. The problematic and unfinished HB4293 Amendments did not come up for vote in the House before the Illinois Spring Legislative Session adjourned at 5 a.m.
Although that prevents disastrous legislation from being enacted in the short term, it's very unfortunate that maneuvers by marijuana interest groups prevented much-needed regulation to help prevent THC products from getting into the hands of minors. More than ever, we will continue to push for meaningful discussion and actual negotiation so reasonable regulation of the hemp and marijuana industry is enacted for the benefit of Illinois.
May 28, 2024:
Cubbington's Cabinet is extremely alarmed that hastily written, inaccurate, and incomplete proposed legislation is nearing a final vote by Illinois State Representatives that will decimate the hemp industry while hurting our state's challenged economy.
Please call your Illinois State Representative to leave a brief message saying you oppose language in House Bill 4293 Amendments.
Although we support reasonable regulation of the hemp industry, this legislation would essentially a BAN all hemp-derived consumable products, including CBD and other non-intoxicating cannabinoids!
It would also replicate and amplify social equity failures in current cannabis regulation.
You can help!
1) Find your Illinois State Representative by entering your home address.
2) Call and leave a voicemail at the local office for your Rep (if you live in Roscoe Village, call Rep. Ann Williams at 773-880-9082.
Sample script:
Hello, Representative _____,
My name is _____. I live in _____ and purchase wellness products locally at Cubbington’s Cabinet.
As your constituent, I urge you to please oppose HB4293 Amendments, which are extraordinarily restrictive and will destroy the hemp industry in Illinois, small businesses like Cubbington’s Cabinet, and consumer access to mainstream wellness products including non-intoxicating CBD.
Thank you for your consideration on this important issue!
As many in our community are aware, Jennifer and the Cubbington’s team have been proactive advocates of thoughtful regulation and taxation in the hemp industry since we opened in 2020 with a particular focus on accuracy of labeling and full panel, third-party, final-product testing. Unfortunately, as we near the end of Springfield’s legislative session, a fast-tracked bill was introduced by misinformed politicians that would ban the sale of almost every item at Cubbington's, including all CBD products and our own 0% THC tinctures. The bill is extraordinarily restrictive and goes far beyond the bill sponsor’s talking points of saving kids from potentially dangerous products. It would literally cut off consumer access to hemp-derived cannabinoids outside of dispensaries (where the taxation/financial realities would not support the sale of most of the products Cubbington’s sells) and immediately destroy a conscientious business like ours.
While we do not have the resources to fight powerful interest groups through armies of lobbyists and manipulation of legislators and the media, we can utilize our democratic system and mobilize our community! If your Illinois legislator hears from you and learns just how bad this bill will be for consumers and small businesses, we might survive and continue our efforts toward reasonable legislation! Please help us in opposing HB4293 or any last-minute-introduced legislation that will destroy the hemp industry and hurt consumers. Make your voice heard!
HB4293 Fails to Protect Children:
-
In a recent JAMA study, 11% of teens admitted to using Delta-8 compared to 30% who admitted to using Delta-9 THC marijuana (Adolescent Δ8-THC and Marijuana Use in the US, JAMA, March 12, 2024). Contrary to the Sponsor's speaking points, this bill DOES NOTHING to protect kids from being poisoned by marijuana products sold at dispensaries.
-
During Senate debate on this bill, the Sponsor admitted that this bill FAILS to stop online delta-8 purchases or purchases made across state lines. This bill will allow children to get delta-8, and it will encourage a new illicit black market.
-
Bill fosters the War on Drugs 2.0. Even accidental violations come with extremely harsh penalties. Since most hemp now on the market would be reclassified as cannabis, thousands of law-abiding businesses would immediately be hit with $10,000/day fines for any violations, along with a loss of all licensure, seizures of property, and automatic violation of the Consumer Fraud Act. There is no off-ramp period to allow small businesses to comply by winding down their hemp product sales.
-
The bill implements a complex and unreliable hemp licensing scheme. The process is based on the flawed cannabis licensing system that has overwhelmingly disenfranchised minority and low-income Illinoisians.
- Although the bill may not intend to do so, it contains technical mistakes and unscientific definitions that will immediately ban all non-intoxicating CBD products, including pet products and widely used cosmetic and wellness products. It will immediately criminalize businesses who sell those types of non-intoxicating CBD consumer goods. Flawed technical definitions ban basically all hemp products, including non-intoxicating CBD cosmetic, wellness, and pet products.
-
Impossible processing standards. The overly broad definition of “synthesis” covers all isomerization, and other chemical processes, (including natural processes and other processes which regularly occur in the food industry). This would effectively ban the current CBD processing industry.
-
Impossible manufacturing standards. By imposing the 0.3% limit on interim products, no extraction can go on in the State. Compliant hemp will naturally have its potency increase when the cannabinoids are extracted, even if they are in a small percentage.
-
Market killing standards. All products would have to be sized to have less than 0.5mg THC per serving/ 2mg THC per package. The effect would be that most hemp products currently sold, both THC and CBD products, would be illegal in Illinois. Even non-intoxicating CBD isolate would be banned.
