the more I look into illiois marijuana laws the more I feel this some bullshit... Under the proposal, a four-year trial program would be created to allow doctors to prescribe patients no more than 2.5 ounces of marijuana every two weeks. To qualify, patients must have one of 42 serious or chronic conditions listed in the bill — including cancer, multiple sclerosis, glaucoma and HIV — and an established relationship with a doctor.
They would undergo fingerprinting and a criminal background check and would be issued a registration ID card. Marijuana use would be banned in public, in vehicles, around minors and near school grounds. Property owners would have the ability to ban marijuana use on their grounds.
Patients could not legally grow marijuana, and would have to buy it from one of 60 dispensing centers across Illinois. The state would license 22 growers, one for every state police district.
Opponents said they did not trust the state to properly regulate marijuana production, pointing to Illinois' inability to solve problems such as a budget crisis fueled by inaction on pension reform. They also questioned the legitimacy of using marijuana for medical reasons, saying there are other options for pain management that have been approved by federal regulators.
