Illinois regulators are considering new rules for outdoor cannabis cultivation, and the renewed attention is putting Illinois’ restrictive home grow laws back into the conversation. Cole discusses new coverage from the Chicago Tribune and Shaw Local, why home cultivation remains an important part of the legalization debate, and two newly approved qualifying conditions for Illinois’ medical cannabis program.
Plus, an open letter calls for stronger federal protections for medical cannabis patients, a man is caught with 32 pounds of cannabis at O’Hare, and the DEA releases the full transcripts from the marijuana rescheduling hearings.
