Local Considerations
Remember that while cannabis is legal in Illinois, you cannot transport it across state lines. Consumption is only permitted in private residences, and public consumption remains illegal.
For medical patients, remember to bring your medical cannabis card and any relevant documentation to receive applicable discounts and tax benefits.
Always consume responsibly and start with small amounts when trying new products to understand how they affect you personally.
