This week on a live broadcast of The Cole Memo, Cole is joined by Dave from SupportDope to break down the Cannabis Equity Illinois Coalition’s 2026 legislative agenda, including medical patients shopping anywhere, telemedicine access, curbside pickup, social consumption, homegrow and caregiver expansion, and the ongoing fight over odor-based policing.
Later, Cole brings on Jason Brown from Illinois News Joint to review newly filed bills and what they would change for patients, dispensaries, and the broader industry, plus why there is still so much skepticism about anything moving in Springfield.
