Chicago Apartments Near Cannabis Dispensaries

The City of Chicago joins the rest of Illinois in legalizing adult-use recreational cannabis on January 1, 2020. This means that any adult age 21 or over can legally purchase cannabis and cannabis products on the first day of 2020 in Illinois. An important note: Not all Chicago apartments are 420 friendly. Just because apartment renters can purchase these products for personal consumption doesn’t mean that all apartments or rental properties allow renters to light up on the premises. If you haven’t already read up on things like universal smoking bans that might prohibit certain forms of cannabis consumption in Chicago apartments, then it’s definitely recommended reading

Chicago has eleven medical marijuana dispensaries serving patients within the city limits. The city has announced that these existing medical dispensaries are allowed to supply the city’s demand for recreational cannabis as well, letting them sell products to medical patients and adults over the age of 21 who want to participate in the newly legal recreational market. This dual medical/recreational distinction for these few existing dispensaries is meant as a short-term measure, at least until the retail market picks up steam and a healthy crop of licensed retail operations receive the green light from state and local lawmakers to open up shop.
