IL medical marijuana bill

Here's a nice little synoposis :

<code> </code><code>Amends the Cannabis Control Act. Provides that when a person has been </code><code>diagnosed by a physician as having a debilitating medical condition, the </code><code>person and the person's primary caregiver may be issued a registry </code><code>identification card by the Department of Public Health that permits the </code><code>person or the person's primary caregiver to legally possess no more than 12 </code><code>cannabis plants and 2.5 ounces of usable cannabis which must be grown in an </code><code>indoor locked facility. Provides that within 30 days after the effective </code><code>date of the amendatory Act, the Department shall adopt emergency rules to </code><code>implement these provisions. Creates a task force to implement permanent </code><code>rules. Provides that if the Department fails to adopt rules to implement </code><code>these provisions within 6 months, a qualifying patient may commence an </code><code>action in a court of competent jurisdiction to compel the Department to </code><code>perform the actions mandated pursuant to these provisions. Provides that a </code><code>municipality may not prevent a registered organization from operating in </code><code>accordance with the amendatory Act in an area where zoning permits retail </code><code>businesses. Limits home rule powers. Effective immediately.

It's going to the Illinois senate tomorrow . That's the first place it is being voted on.

Lets all hope for the best. I wanna be #12

 

I'll put all my money on that being the reason it passed the public health commitee. It passed with a 6-4 vote. There happens to be 6 dems and 4 republicans. Coincidence... I think not.
