(The Center Square) – The sponsor of a measure to regulate Illinois’ hemp industry says children are overdosing on cannabinoid products derived from hemp and it needs to be regulated. A measure to do that has stalled.

Some legislators who raised concerns about House Bill 4293 say the it will effectively ban CBD products in Illinois. Those in the hemp industry say it’s impossible to create products at a THC potency level that doesn’t exceed 0.3%.
