Illinois update: Just made a trip to the dispensary. We have a new recreational only store here in central Illinois. It is big too. No crowd really. Now they are running weekly specials. Prices seem to have stabilized or have come down. Looks like a long strange trip here in Illinois from January to now. In January it was crazy busy, limited to edibles, high prices. Now the crowds are gone, prices down, and edibles and flower are plentiful. There are concentrates, oils, whatever you want. Such a welcome change. In my opinion it is no longer worth it to grow. Thank you governor JB for this.

It's NEVER not worth it to grow. Even without mmj card it's still only a $200.00 Civil penalty. Plus you have the advantage of knowing what's in your plants.

Hes special, you have to be a gullible moron to thank fatboy pritzker for anything. The guys is a billionaire, and your thanking him for highway robbery.

It was going to be legal to grow 5 plants without a medical card until fat man changed it, he wants it to be like Washington State so we have the highest taxes and the highest prices and the most Revenue out of the people's pockets....

heck ya, grow baby grow! nobody's business if you do!!

just want to throw this out there though, the $200 fine is just for live unprocessed plants. don't get caught processing (harvesting/trimming) your plants without a med license--felony. don't get caught making bho--felony. don't get caught with more than 30 grams--second offense possession 30-100 grams--felony. if you pull the average 4oz per plant, 1 harvest could land you a felony. first offense 100 grams or more--felony.

they just want us to feel like we are free, they don't really want us free.

anybody can get a medical license. just look a the qualifying conditions list and start to think about every physical and emotional pain you ever had. just in case you don't have a regular doctor or a doctor that supports mmj, the doctor at one of the cannabis clinics will help you figure out your issue.

typical recipe for "freedom"----just pay up.

So what's the limit on how much you can possess with mmj? The same?

"anybody can get a medical license. just look a the qualifying conditions list and start to think about every physical and emotional pain you ever had"....I wish they were a lil more specific on the chronic pain thing. I mean... would headaches qualify? I get them at least once a week. Lol

This can't be stressed enough. ONLY if you have a med card are you within the law to have more than 30 grams in your possession, even at home. The fine is for growing over 5 plants only, not the possession. Assuming the law is your concern, just go get a medical card.

I would need a qualifying symptom. I'm 49 and I'm a furniture mover. I've been doing the same job since 95, so I deal with pain on the daily, but I'm not sure if I have anything that qualifies. Chronic pain is too vague. I have all sorts of chronic pains, but the severity is where I believe it comes into question. I'm just unsure if I wanna spend the money to get the ball rolling, just to get turned down.

migraines do suck. and they are a qualifying condition.

Unfortunately they're not migraines. I have chronic sinus infections, and stress causing my headaches... lol. I just feel like there's potential to turn down without a somewhat severe condition, because for one, medical pays less taxes at the dispensaries, and two, if you grow, you pay no taxes.

Chronic pain is a qualifying condition. Period.

Not sure where you are, but they have 5 locations: Addison, Rockford, Springfield, Lombard & Libertyville.
If your doctor is skeptical of medical cannabis (as mine was), this is the route to go.
