720 ILCS 5/24.5-10 – Unlawful Manufacture or Delivery

This law makes it illegal to make or sell nitrous oxide if it’s for a banned use.

This statute says that anyone who makes, sells, or plans to sell nitrous oxide for a purpose that the law doesn’t allow is committing a serious crime called a Class 3 felony.

(a) Any person, business, or group that purposely makes, gives, or sells nitrous oxide, or plans to do so, for a reason that is not permitted (like a doctor using a legitimate medical purpose) it for is breaking this law.
The punishment for this crime is a Class 3 felony, which means it is a serious offense that can lead to jail time and fines.
