It's now illegal to sell pee in Illinois....
Our Leg, in its infinite wisdom, has passed a law making it a misdemeanor offense to sell 'clean' urine whose purpose is to help the purchaser beat a drug test; upon conviction, one can be sentenced to 364 days in jail and fined up to $1000.

I feel soooooooo much safer now...

:eyes:

7. I am interested immensely
in the state legislature taking the time to protect all from contaminated urine. By god, it's about time.

Are you with me!

(I'm being sarcastic to the idea, not your post!)

8. Oh, I agree...
They can't agree on a state budget that balances, but they can pass THIS!

9. What the hell?

Aren't they supposed to be trying to come up with a state budget so the Gov. can stop calling special sessions? No wonder they can't come up with a compromise.....Blagojevich should lock 'em up in the state capitol till they come up with something resembling a budget.

22. Seems to that driving the urine trade underground
Will bring in the participation of organized crime and endanger the urine-consuming public with the proliferation of expensive, unsafe black market urine. The War on Urine is unwinnable. I say legalize it, regulate it and tax it!

25. I didn't know it was legal in the first place.
Sanitary considerations. Biologicals. Doesn't it fall in the biohazard category?

The bill confuses me: does it mean it is legal to sell it if it's NOT being used to beat a drug test? How do they prove it is? And where and why did thay come up with the 364 days?
