Recreational marijuana dispensary 'same-site' licenses issued; 3 in Chicago
Looking to buy weed in Illinois? Here's what you need to know.

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Dozens of recreational marijuana dispensary licenses have been issued in Illinois, including the first "secondary site" adult use cannabis license. They will be the first to offer recreational sales on January 1, 2020.



RELATED: Illinois Weed Legalization Guide



The licenses are all subject to local zoning rules and other local laws, which means dispensaries like 3C Compassionate Care Center in Naperville will not be offering adult-use recreational sales even with their license, since Naperville voted to ban the sale of recreational marijuana in the city. Some dispensaries with same-site licenses have also opted to delay recreational sales and continue operating as medical only for the time being. Check with your local dispensary to ensure they are offering recreational sales.



Ten of the dispensaries are in Chicago. Others are in various locations around the state. Not all of the municipalities in which the dispensaries are located have made a final decision on whether or not to allow recreational sales.

The medical dispensaries that have been issued same-site licenses are also allowed under the law to open a second, recreational-only dispensary at a separate location. So far, the only "secondary site" license to be issued is for Rise - Joliet in the south suburb.



In 2020, the state of Illinois will issue 75 adult use cannabis licenses to new applicants, including social equity applicants.
