@radar_99 Now I know what i want for Christmas.

Sure will create extra money for the state. Should have state growing farms that way they could have the full share of the income coming in.Hope this passes so ones who need this can have plenty of access around the state.

$22/hr jobs! with benefits!

Dream job for some people.@Mahkno

How about all of us here who don't mind Pot being legal start a Marijuana Kitchen, like this one?

@Jessie67 I've met the owners of Sweetgrass Kitchen. They make a good product.

Well we know for a fact any money that comes from bringing this product to Illinois will be sucked up in this great money sweeper. Don't think any of us will have any thing coming. Well we could have to pay more for not smoking.

At a minimum - the Federal gov't should classify it so that adequate research can be done. The plant does have some exceptional properties.

@Ptownliferalmost The big pharma isn't gonna let that happen!!! They want you to only get drugs from them at HUGE mark up. Pot you can grow in your living room from seeds. NO profit for them at all.

Too much money coming from lobbyists in the prison industry and the alcohol industry in Illinois for this to be passed anytime soon. Doesn't matter how much money it would make.

@EyeintheSky Big pharma and tobacco are already poised to become players. Think neuro toxins from deep water fish - only this plant has many more properties - most largely unknown - cuz the Fed's classified it wrong decades ago.
