Weed

Coming soon to the Rockford area, another way to get your hands on legal weed.

I've heard lots of people ask where the tax money from the sales of recreational marijuana products here in Illinois is going. With sales of nearly a billion dollars in 2020, we've got to have a pretty decent pile of cash to spread around, wouldn't you think?

The dollars coming in to the state from Illinois residents buying legal recreational marijuana continue to rise month-over-month, and sales to those across state borders are really jumping.

If you recall earlier this year, arguments raged back and forth over whether marijuana dispensaries should be labeled "essential" during the pandemic shutdowns across the country.

Many are going a more natural route during this pandemic to treat their anxiety.

A mid-July opening for the South Beloit "Sunnyside Dispensary" is planned.

$34.8 million is less than the $39.2 million in January sales, but analysts say that Illinois' recreational marijuana market holds promise for continued growth.

Only California, which saw nearly $15 million in sales in its first week, had a bigger roll-out than Illinois.

Cooking marijuana is a lot different of a high than smoking it and a Rockton man is hoping to give you some recipes worth trying.
