Know legal loopholes? Post here!
« on: August 17, 2009, 08:33:50 AM »
Legal consumption of alcohol by minors, in illinois:

235 ILCS 5/6-20 subsection g
The possession and dispensing, or consumption by a person under 21 years of age of alcoholic liquor in the performance of a religious service or ceremony, or the consumption by a person under 21 years of age under the direct supervision and approval of the parents or parent or those persons standing in loco parentis of such person under 21 years of age in the privacy of a home, is not prohibited by this Act.
(Source: P.A. 95?166, eff. 1?1?08; 95?355, eff. 1?1?08.)

I have won plenty of bets with this one, and made a point to memorize it once I found it.  The location that is, not the full text.

I'll ammend more as I think of them, anyone else have any? I feel this could be entertaining.

Great thread  :)

Tobacco isn't regulated unless it is in the form of a consumable such as cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, smokeless tobacco (Smokeless tobacco includes loose leaf chewing tobacco, plug chewing tobacco, twist chewing tobacco, moist snuff, and dry snuff.)

This seems like a clever way to avoid ANY tobacco laws regarding taxes, age, etc.
Just sell it as an incense?

Oh, in the US, 'dietary supplements' require no FDA approval.  For this reason, one could claim they are selling dietary supplements.  I'll let you think of creative ways to use this, though.

Why doesn't the tobacco company do that to begin with?

"Cigarettes for weight lose and probably other stuff"

Ha they sell them selfs and don't need the legle mobo jumbo that would arise from something like that. Picture the lawsuits not from people with cancer anymore but now fat people would get a slice of the pie as well.
There once were some bees and you took all there stuff!
You pissed off the wasp now enough is enough!!!

Pretty sure cigarettes don't have FDA approval nor require it anyway...
