Illinois

Tips from the community

Illinois is home to the Windy City and one of the nation’s Great Lakes. Tourists have long ventured to Chicago for its architecture, deep dish pizza, and urban charm. Now, this 420-friendly state has become a hotbed for stoner explorers. The Land of Lincoln first legalized cannabis for medical use in 2014, with recreational marijuana use passing in 2019. Chicago’s metropolitan area rivals New York for its culture, hustle and bustle feel, and general lively atmosphere. And now, with the addition of legal weed, nothing is holding this city back. With an excellent selection of dispensaries and world-class edibles like chef Mindy Segal’s groundbreaking artisanal edibles, Illinois is poised to take over as one of the nation’s most 420-friendly states.
