In this Friday episode of The Cole Memo, Cole is joined by Peter Contos from the Cannabis Equity Illinois Coalition to break down some exciting last-minute developments in Illinois cannabis policy. The two discuss the unexpected movement of Senate Bill 90, which includes long-sought provisions like allowing medical patients to shop at any dispensary, expanding craft grower canopy limits, removing “excluded offenses” from licensing restrictions, and introducing a new hardship exemption for struggling operators. They also touch on the possibility of drive-thru dispensary service and the chaotic nature of end-of-session lawmaking in Springfield. If you care about cannabis reform in Illinois, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
