Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Cannabis Control Act.  Creates the offense of  illegal      
   transmission  of  cannabis information by the Internet.  Provides that      
   it is a Class A misdemeanor to transmit information about cannabis  by      
   the  Internet knowing that the information will be used in furtherance      
   of illegal activity.  Amends the Illinois Controlled  Substances  Act.      
   Creates  the  offense  of illegal transmission of controlled substance      
   information  by  the  Internet.   Provides  that  it  is  a  Class   A      
   misdemeanor to transmit information by the Internet about a controlled      
   substance  knowing that the information will be used in furtherance of

        Provides that the offenses consist of transmitting information by      
   the Internet about cannabis or a controlled substance  to  a  specific      
   individual  with  the intent that the information will be used by that      
   individual in furtherance of illegal  activity  (rather  than  knowing      
   transmission of that information to any person).
