The 100th Social Equity Cannabis Dispensary has opened in Illinois.
The administration of Governor JB Pritzer says the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation issued a full adult use license to the Dispensary Champaign after it was selected in the Social Equity Criteria Lottery and met the lottery’s criteria.
Governor Pritzker says from day one of legal cannabis sales in Illinois, his administration has been committed to making sure they didn’t sacrifice a fair, equitable opportunity to join the industry while also undoing decades of wrongs in the failed War on Drugs, just for the economic gains.
