Illinois
-------
Here's what's clear: A marijuana gold rush is coming to Illinois. Here's what's not so clear: How will fundamental conflicts between state and federal laws governing marijuana be resolved?
Because until those conflicts are worked out, too much of this lucrative industry will be a cash business, ripe for fraud and organized crime, and nobody-consumers or suppliers-can feel completely safe from federal snooping and sanctions.
About half the states, including Illinois, have enacted laws authorizing marijuana for medical use, and two- Washington and Colorado-have legalized it for recreational use. In Los Angeles, a new smart phone app lets medical marijuana users get deliveries right to their doorsteps.
Business has been booming, especially for recreational marijuana. Colorado took in tax receipts of about $ 45 million through August, a number that no doubt is registering with officials in cash-starved states elsewhere.
