In Part 2, we continue our deep dive into Illinois House Bill 4293, shifting our focus to the alcohol industry's role in shaping the legislation. We explore how the bill opens doors for big alcohol to dominate the cannabis space, raising concerns about monopolistic practices and corporate influence. Beyond Governor Pritzker's controversial decisions and the displacement of hemp and CBD products from non-dispensary stores, we discuss the bill's implications for alcohol regulations and its potential to prioritize industry giants over small businesses and consumers. Tune in as we examine how this bill not only reshapes Illinois' cannabis and hemp industries but also blurs the lines between cannabis and alcohol, threatening the diversity and integrity of the market.
