Rewrite Planning on swinging through the Midwest? Illinois has become a go-to legal destination for cannabis enthusiasts. The Land of Lincoln has become one of the fastest rising markets for cannabis since its legalization, tallying $1 billion in sales in its first year operating under its new laws.By the conclusion of 2022, Illinois is expected to reach nearly 300 legalized cannabis stores and the state is currently developing grants and opportunities for its citizens to get into business.Jump to medical dispensary listingsHighest-rated recreational dispensaries in Illinois Illinois officially became a marijuana-friendly state in 2020. Officially the 11th state to legalize under Gov. J.B. Pritzker, residents over 21 can visit licensed sellers in the state and purchase and possess 30 grams of cannabis flower. In comparison, concentrate is limited to 5 grams. THC, which is found in edibles or tinctures, and leads to a cannabis high, can be possessed at a maximum of 500 milligrams. For visitors to the state, those numbers are cut in half. During your visit, marijuana use is limited to approved businesses or your home and private areas. Sadly, the capitol steps or Chicago’s Navy Pier are off-limits. However, statewide, there are plenty of shops that offer a variety of cannabis.
