Bloomington/Normal are both going for it. Some dumb restrictions, mind you, but neither is opting out.

Bizarro Kanyon posted:Downstate has been essentially rebelling against it. Many of the towns and counties in rural Illinois are actively working against it. It's so hilarious (read: incredibly stupid) to me that most of the people who are against marijuana would absolutely bitch and moan if you dared tried to curtail alcohol sales.

That's because traditional things are okay but new stuff is bad.

What about border towns with potential out of state sales? I could see E.St. Louis, S. Beloit, and Rock Island making bank.

If I was a next to the Indiana border, I would open up a state line store (like they do for alcohol sales) and sell to all those thirsty Indiana residents. Effingham has allowed sales and the medicinal place received its recreational license. When medicinal sales were being discussed groups came pouring out to say how this would showcase a moral downfall for Effingham...no comment on alcohol though. With recreational, the same groups came out to say THIS would be showcasing the moral downfall for Effingham...no comment on the previous moral downfalling.

Are any of our border states going to have recreational marijuana? Pretty much every border community should be allowing as much of it as possible. The counties/towns that prohibit sales are just letting tax money go to the next town over.

Could always boat out on the lake and buy/sell with Michigan residents.

So far, no other neighbor state has allowed use for either medicinal or recreational. Michigan has allowed both so sorry for no Weed Boat business. My brother in law, a big Republican, wants to start a marijuana edible truck. I told him the name should be Life Is a HighWay.

Cairo is about to be the closest place you could buy legal weed for most of the country.

Maybe it will revive the entire town because Gods knows, it would take a miracle to do that. So my dipshit rep Darren Bailey posted some article saying that using marijuana legally in Illinois will make it so you cannot purchase guns. I posted an article and a guy from high school posted an ATF letter from 2011 to show how the ATF states that you cannot use marijuana even in legal states and purchase a gun. Never mind the fact that in the 7 years of recreational use, I cannot find anyone who has been denied a gun purchase for legal use. These guys just need to worry about their guns while combining it with their hatred of whatever they deem to immoral.

Heath posted:How about Peoria county? This is actually where my original question is about! Someone was telling me that Peoria was initially against it, and Tazewell pretty much said "That's okay with us! Come on across the river, everyone!" and Peoria nigh-instantly changed their tune. However, all I can find are lovely PJStar articles from October that mention one place that "might" be through the red tape and ready to sell by Jan 1. I texted one friend who I thought would know about this stuff, and he said he had no idea yet. I suppose I can reach out to some of my friends from the theater days and see if 1). They're still into that and 2). If they know anything.

I have friend who grew up in Aledo IL, and thats how he said everyone pronounced it as well. Probably more of a question for the general Chicago thread, but what happens on the 1st with weed being legal? I assume the current medical only only stores go open for everyone right? Is there a list of new store that will be opening up somewhere?

Bugsy posted:I have friend who grew up in Aledo IL, and thats how he said everyone pronounced it as well. yeah there's a bunch of articles up. there are exactly 10 stores in the entire city authorized for recreational on NYD, one of which is holding off due to supply and crowding concerns, plus maybe some others in nearby suburbs. a lot of them are doing gimmicks with nearby cafes or selling premier-access tickets. not all medical dispensaries will be licensed for recreational immediately, it's a gradual rollout.

lol pronunciation so bad they had to legally change it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourbonnais,_Illinois Pronunciation The original French pronunciation of Bourbonnais came to be Anglicized over time to /bərˈboʊnɪs/ bər-BOH-nis. In 1974, a state representative from Bourbonnais introduced a resolution "correcting" the pronunciation of the town's name to /bɜːrbəˈneɪ/ bur-bə-NAY, closer to the French.[13] e: a former coworker did a study abroad thing in college in France, and her French friend came to visit a few years ago. She was at first deeply confused why no one knew where "Des Plaines" was when she was asking about it, and then visibly angry at how terribly we pronounce it.

Recreational and medicinal stores must be separated. They cannot be in the same use the same doorway to access both places. For example, in Effingham, The Clinic is situated in a strip mall with a VA doctor’s office behind a Buffalo Wild Wings. When they received their license, the purchased the suite next door and began converting it for their new shop. The doors to both stores are on different sides of the building. The signage will be different. Medicinal companies had the first shot at recreational licenses but even then, there was no guarantee of getting it. But even if they did get a license, they had to completely separate the two businesses.

On the marijuana chat, the high cost of applying for and opening a dispensary is super limiting to most of downstate. I've been casually collecting a list of how communities and counties are reacting to legalization, i.e. taxing or banning. The stereotype of downstate being opposed to marijuana is simply wrong. A large number of suburbs are opposed while a large number of downstate communities are taxing it. Most of these towns will never have a dispensary, which might account for their support. They're just leaving the door open. Here are some downstate communities taxing the businesses: Olney, Lawrenceville, Mount Carmel, Princeton, Columbia, Effingham, Altamont, Harrisburg, Jerseyville, Peru, Taylorville, Metropolis, and Lincoln are all on board. At my current count, taxing communities outweigh bans 188-111, and counties are 42-13 (with 9 taxing and banning; they get revenue if a town in the county gets a business lol)
