About Medical Marijuana in Illinois
Medical cannabis became legal in Illinois in 2013 when Governor Pat Quinn signed Senate Bill 862 into law. Six years later, the state expanded access by legalizing recreational cannabis. In August of this year, THCnet.com, a leading cannabis industry news outlet, reported that recreational sales in Illinois had already surpassed $300 million within the first seven months of legalization, following Governor JB Pritzker’s signing of Senate Bill 2023.
On the very first day of recreational sales, Lt. Governor Julia Stratton made one of the first purchases, showcasing her strong support for legalization. She later tweeted: “For too long, cannabis possession has been criminalized and specifically targeted at Black and Brown people in IL.”
Today, cannabis is legal in Illinois for both medical patients and adult recreational use, marking a historic shift away from decades of prohibition and toward a more inclusive, health-focused approach.
Caregiver Program in Illinois
Registered caregivers are licensed to help patients purchase and use medical cannabis. In Illinois, caregivers must be at least 21 years old, and both a valid driver’s license or state ID are required to prove residency. Caregivers must also provide fingerprints to confirm they have no criminal record.
As part of the application, caregivers need to submit a photo. The application fee is $75 when submitted with a patient or $100 if submitted separately.
To ensure fair access, caregivers may only serve one patient at a time and are not permitted to charge a fee for their services.
