DispensaryPermits.com to Assist Entrepreneurs with Opening a Medical Marijuana Businesses across the State of Illinois

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) March 09, 2014

Last Thursday, February 27, marked another important date for the Illinois Medical Cannabis Pilot Program. After 20 days of open public commentary, The Department of Agriculture and the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation closed the public commentary period for the draft regulations. The departments are now tasked with producing the final regulations that will include what the government is looking for in potential dispensary or cultivation applicants.

Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn (D) signed a bill into law legalizing the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes on August 1, 2013. The Democratic Governor’s signature made Illinois the 20th state to legalize medical marijuana for patient use. The new law took effect on January 1, 2014; patients will not be recommended more than 2.5 ounces of marijuana over a two-week period. The legislation states that patients will have to purchase marijuana from one of 60 dispensing centers throughout the state and will not be allowed to legally grow their own. Additionally, marijuana will be grown indoors in cultivation centers located in designated police districts across the entire state.
