Cannabis legalization in Illinois may lead to businesses allowing indoor smoking

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Legalization. No Comments on Cannabis legalization in Illinois may lead to businesses allowing indoor smoking

Illinois became the 11th state in the U.S. to legalize recreational marijuana on Tuesday after Governor J.B. Pritzker signed the regulatory bill legislators passed at the end of May. Legal recreational marijuana sales will begin in Illinois on January 1, 2020.

While many other states have legalized marijuana through voter referendums that can leave details to be agreed upon after the fact, Illinois became the first state in the country to legalize through the legislative process.

“We did something that no other state in the nation has been able to do,” Pritzker cheered at the signing ceremony.

Other states looking to replicate the bipartisan legalization bill Illinois was able to pass haven’t been as successful, leaving many wondering what state might become the 12th state in the U.S. to legalize recreational marijuana.

Illinois poised to become 11th state to legalize recreational marijuana

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Legalization. No Comments on Illinois poised to become 11th state to legalize recreational marijuana

With House approval Friday, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker will get legislation to allow residents to buy and possess up to one ounce (30 grams) of marijuana for personal use. Pritzker is expected to sign the measure to make Illinois the 11th state, along with the District of Columbia, to allow recreational use. Supporters say the new law also will remedy to past injustices to minorities who were disproportionately affected by the war on drugs. The plan allows scrubbing of criminal records for anyone convicted of possessing 30 grams of marijuana or less and offers incentives to minority investors who want to enter what will likely be a burgeoning new marijuana industry.
