On July 25th, 2019, Illinois became the 11th state to legalize recreational marijuana use in the United States. This law came into effect as of January 1st, 2020 bringing joy to licensed growers, seed banks, dispensaries, medical and recreational customers. While this advancement has many people in a better mood, it does have some people asking questions regarding the rules of purchasing and quantities, etc.
Who Can Make a Purchase?
Residents and non-residents will be able to buy cannabis seeds and cannabis-infused products if you are 21 years of age or older.
How Much Can You Buy?
As a purchaser of cannabis and cannabis-related products, you are probably delighted at this new law coming into effect. However, it’s important to keep in mind that you can’t fill your kitchen cupboards with your favorite products unless you want to risk being charged with an offense. The permitted quantities for residents purchasing are as follows from the Illinois Policy:
- 30 grams of marijuana (flower)
- A 500 milligrams THC limit in any cannabis-infused product
- 5 grams of cannabis concentrate
Non-residents have a slightly different purchasing limit and it is as follows:
- 15 grams of marijuana (flower)
- A 250 milligrams THC limit in any cannabis-infused product
- 2.5 grams of cannabis concentrate
When purchasing from dispensaries, there is an important detail to follow for the ride home. Remember to keep your product in an airtight, odor proof and childproof container. It must be sealed and unable for children to access. Failure to do this is considered a Class A misdemeanor by the state of Illinois.
