A POT- POURRI OF OPTIONS IN THE LAND OF LINCOLN

Illinois
-------
EDITOR'S NOTE: Selling medical marijuana to people with serious illnesses soon will be legal in Illinois. The Sun- Times wanted to see how the process has been working so far in Colorado, a state where it's already legal to sell marijuana to any adult, and focus on a business there that wants to win one of the coveted licenses to grow marijuana in Illinois.

DENVER- When a customer seeking medical marijuana comes into the dispensary on Colfax Street, Jamie Murray wants to know: How do you want to feel?

Each type of marijuana has different effects.

"If somebody wants to feel a little bit more stimulated, I'm going to point them in the direction of the sativa. If they want to feel a little bit more euphoric, I'll go with a hybrid. If they want some pain relief or [ feel something] nice and relaxing, I'll send them to an indica," said Murray, a "budtender" or a patient consultant at the be Mindful dispensary.

"And then I'll let them pop the top and check them out for themselves because the nose will know."

It's a concept that may seem unfamiliar to seriously ill people in Illinois currently using marijuana to help with symptoms of their severe condition. They have few choices and often shady circumstances to deal with when they want the product.

But that's soon going to change.
