My guess is that it falls under the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, 720 ILCS 570/404(b), unlawful distribution of a look-alike substance.

"It is unlawful for any person knowingly to manufacture, distribute, advertise, or possess with intent to manufacture or distribute a look‑alike substance. Any person who violates this subsection (b) shall be guilty of a Class 3 felony, the fine for which shall not exceed $150,000."

My guess is that they'll drop this to a 404(c):

"It is unlawful for any person knowingly to possess a look‑alike substance. Any person who violates this subsection (c) is guilty of a petty offense. Any person convicted of a subsequent offense under this subsection (c) shall be guilty of a Class C misdemeanor."

Well, then everybody had better get rid of their powdered sugar, oregano, lawn clippings etc. or better yet get rid of this stupid government and the paranoid freaks who elected it. Maybe it should take a 4/5 vote to pass new laws. That would take it out of the hands of the dumbest 80%.

I guess all the pastry chefs in the state are in BIG trouble.

Every grocery store in the state which sells powdered sugar is in violation of this law. Why aren't all the grocery store owners locked up as felons?

[From many - one.]

It's unlawful to sell powdered sugar?

[drhogan]

so it is illegal to possess powdered sugar? why aren't they arresting all the bakers?

[ApplegateRanch]

Thanks. Sounds like the drug equivalent of 'hate crimes'.

Too bad there isn't a statute making it a felony for a politician to impersonate or attempt to impersonate a person with a brain.

So, Confectioner's sugar is out? Catnip is out? Oregano is out? What about my grocer - it this a criminal organization?
