Yeah Especially given the surrounding states. Its kinda good in a way as folks in the surround states come to enjoy a few freedoms. The big problem with illinois is the graft. Grow only allowed for medical which requires a yearly fee. So its does great things but in kinda a weenie bullshit way but its better than not having it.
I'm kind of okay with that. It's no secret that Illinois had some serious budget issues before legalization. Allowing recreational personal grow would undercut desperately needed tax revenue, and essentially create a bigger black market, not to mention the issue of black market product being adulterated and creating public health concerns. When you go to the weed store, you know what you're getting.
Meh. They limit licenses to assure monopoly. I mean granted its similar with alcohol. I get the state needs money but I don't view legalization as about funding as much as rights. I have to say though that I wish there was severe restrictions on advertising. I actually would like advertising to be restricted to other "adult" industries. So no billboards or ads in papers or online except in the other adult locations. So inside their physical locations and websites. I would also like to not allow online things unless they have a physical presence in the state and they should have to take responsibility for the amount of gambling for a user the same as they would for a physical person at the physical location.
