The 21st—Tuesday, January 14, 2020

Dispensaries across Illinois have already sold millions of dollars in recreational weed and other cannabis products since New Year’s Day. And it’s all cash. 

Today, we explored why the industry is cash-only—and the challenges that creates. Plus, Illinois is the 11th state to legalize recreational cannabis. What can we learn from states that have been through it already?  We also spoke with historians about the parallels between cannabis legalization today and the end of prohibition nearly a century ago.
