Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation Announces Ninth Round of "Same Site" Licenses for Adult Use Cannabis

CHICAGO - The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation has announced one more "Same Site" adult use cannabis license, which will allow an existing medical cannabis dispensary to obtain an adult use dispensing license. Also announced Wednesday was the second "Secondary Site" adult use cannabis license, which will allow an existing medical cannabis dispensary to obtain an adult use dispensing organization license within a limited geographic area.

This license will permit the dispensary to begin adult use cannabis sales at that location immediately, provided the dispensary complies with local zoning rules or other local laws. These recent approvals raise the total number of approved adult use cannabis dispensary licenses to 48.

The medical dispensaries who received early approval adult use licenses are:

Rise - Quincy
**Adult Use Only; Secondary Site**
2703 Broadway St.
Quincy, IL 62301

The Green Solution
2021 Goose Lake Road
Sauget, IL 62206

The Department anticipates receiving additional applications for early approval adult use licenses as municipalities adopt relevant zoning ordinances regarding adult use cannabis.

State law now permits Illinois residents who are at least 21 years old to legally possess up to 30 grams of cannabis flower and up to 5 grams of cannabis concentrate.
