Illinois
-------
Medical marijuana entrepreneurs want to bring their businesses ( and plants ) to an Illinois market that could be worth up to $ 1 billion a year

DENVER- Outside the warehouse, even from the road, the smell is unmistakable.

And once you step inside this unassuming building, across the street from a busy police station in northeast Denver, you can see it, too:

About 6,500 flowering marijuana plants, each about 6 feet high, stretching as far as the eye can see.

The warehouse is one of several in a thriving industrial zone that forms the center of a gold rush for Colorado's legal weed farmers.

Locals dub it the "Green Mile."

Along with Washington state, Colorado has been at the forefront of the movement to cash in on legal marijuana.

But now marijuana entrepreneurs in the booming new economy have their eyes on another market - in the Land of Lincoln.

Figures released by Colorado this month suggest medical marijuana sales there are on course to hit $ 395 million this year.
