Cannabis in Illinois

Cannabis in Illinois is legal for medicinal use and will also become legal for recreational usage on January 1, 2020. As of June 2019, over 73,000 qualifying patients participate in the state's medical cannabis and opioid alternative programs.[1][2] Since legalization in November 2015, retail sales in Illinois have reached nearly $325 million at 55 dispensaries across the state.

On May 31, 2019 the Illinois General Assembly passed the Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act to legalize recreational marijuana use and it is currently awaiting the signature of Democratic Governor J.B. Pritzker.[3][4] Recreational-use revenue in Illinois is expected to reach an estimated $1.6 billion a year.[5] Illinois became the first state in the nation to legalize cannabis for recreational sale and use through the legislature.[6]
