More ways for the state to make some money.
The Illinois Senate today voted to approve legislation — next step the House — that would legalize the use of marijuana for doctor prescribed medical reasons.
Vote 30-28 vote + 1 present
- Would create a program that would last for three years and require renewal.
- Loosely drafted and did not require criminal background checks for people who handle marijuana or grow it under license from the state Department of Public Health.
- Senate defeated similar legislation two years ago.
