Illinois poised to become 11th state to legalize recreational marijuana

With House approval Friday, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker will get legislation to allow residents to buy and possess up to one ounce (30 grams) of marijuana for personal use. Pritzker is expected to sign the measure to make Illinois the 11th state, along with the District of Columbia, to allow recreational use. Supporters say the new law also will remedy to past injustices to minorities who were disproportionately affected by the war on drugs. The plan allows scrubbing of criminal records for anyone convicted of possessing 30 grams of marijuana or less and offers incentives to minority investors who want to enter what will likely be a burgeoning new marijuana industry.

    The frying egg analogy is over rated. That is what you think your brain is doing but then you realize that is what is feels like but your just paranoid lol

    Good. Just regulate it like alcohol. My god. Legalize it federally. Trump already signed the farm bill. If he legalized it federally it would be easier.

    I’m super high right now….I wish he cooked that egg….now I have a taste for an omelet

    And that’s the problem. Yay! It’s legal in another state. I’m in California and it’s ok for me to smoke but if I want a better job or if I’m drug tested I will lose my current job so what’s the point? Bitter sweet and irony take the stage



  16. Gamma Ray on November 24, 2019 at 5:16 am

    ..they should’ve legalized the shit in 69. It’s egg heads like him that want to control what people do!

  19. Al Wilson on November 24, 2019 at 5:19 am

    Everyone will be too high to read the bills that screw them.



  20. Russel Haddix on November 24, 2019 at 5:20 am

    They used to use that egg metaphor with alcohol in DARE Program. Yet alcohol is more freely legally used. So why not marijuana?



  21. Insert Redletter Media Meme Here on November 24, 2019 at 5:21 am

    Fucking PA better legalize it soon. Why states aren’t all just legalizing it now is just beyond idiotic. NJ just banned passing it, fucking stupid as fuck.
