IL HR0700

Urges the Illinois General Assembly to cap THC levels in marijuana retail products to limit the amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) contained in each product.

Requests limits on the amount of cannabis a retailer can sell to an individual in a single transaction or over a period of time based on THC content.

Calls for implementation of a seed-to-sale tracking system to allow regulatory agencies to monitor every gram of legal cannabis through the supply chain.

Cites evidence including increased vehicle fatalities post-legalization (1,337 deaths in 2021 vs. 1,009 in 2019), rising psychosis rates linked to high-potency marijuana use, and the Illinois State Medical Society's support for a 10% THC cap.

Notes that some Illinois marijuana products contain up to 500 milligrams of THC, compared to potency limits of 5 milligrams per serving in Vermont and Connecticut.
