That's pretty awesome. But does Illinois actually have any dispensaries yet? Last I heard there's still none. Which doesn't do much good since they don't allow home cultivation either. I like in Kentucky, and if Illinois began allowing people to grow with a medical card, I'd strongly consider moving a few hours northwest....
No dispensaries yet. I don't even think the growers have put seeds into soil yet. The general vibe I've been getting from news outlets and Facebook groups is that we should have the first dispensaries opening in the late summer or fall. Things are slow moving for sure.
