(A) It shall be unlawful for any person under 21 years of age to consume, purchase or possess cannabis, or to misrepresent his or her age for the purpose of purchasing or obtaining cannabis in the city where cannabis is sold unless authorized by Illinois law.
(B) It shall be unlawful to sell, give or deliver cannabis to any person under 21 years of age or to permit any persons under 21 years of age to consume cannabis unless authorized by Illinois law.
(C) If a licensee or his or her agents or employees believes or has reason to believe that a sale or delivery of cannabis is prohibited because of the age of the prospective recipient, he or she shall, before making the sale or delivery, demand presentation of a military identification card or driver's license issued by a competent authority containing proof of age and a photograph.
(D) POSSESS as used herein shall mean to physically or constructively possess a container, package, receptacle, or other carrying device containing cannabis or to possess by consumption any amount of cannabis. Any evidence of consumption of cannabis by a person under 21 years of age shall be prima facie evidence and create a rebuttable presumption that the person is in possession of cannabis within the meaning of this section, which presumption may be rebutted by a preponderance of evidence that the consumption took place in a specific, reasonably identified location outside the boundaries of the city.
(E) Fines or penalties for violation of this section shall be identical to those as this Council may set from time to time for violations of § 111.084 as regards to furnishing liquor to minors.
