Legalizing Recreational Marijuana in Illinois
January 3, 2018

On 13th of December 2017, Cook County in Illinois State through commissioners voted so that they can get a decision in form of a referendum to whether to allow the use of recreational Marijuana by adults or not.
The question regarding the legalization of marijuana for pleasure will be posted in March of 2018.All commissioners agreed to this referendum which was also seconded by Toni Preckwinkle, who is the person in charge of the Board. Apart from being the president of the Board, Toni Preckwinkle has for a long time been on the forefront of criticizing the war against drugs. As the commissioners voted to pass the motion, she took time to advocate for the legalization of Marijuana, her reasons being that the current rules and regulations on drugs negatively affect the minority by having them kept in jail for minor charges due to lack of money to use as bail. The same minorities also face difficulties in getting employment after being given bad records.
If the question is approved on 20th of March of 2018, It will help reform the criminal justice system and even increase revenue for the government through taxes earned from the pot.
