Illinois Medical Marijuana Laws

Medical marijuana is illegal in Illinois as it is in most states. Illinois Senate Bill 1381, passed in May of 2009, would legalize medical marijuana, but the bill seems unlikely to pass in the House before the 2010 deadline. If it does not pass in the House, a new bill will have to be passed by the Senate again. Even if passed into law, the bill would need to be renewed in three years.

What is the Medical Marijuana Registry? Is there an Illinois Marijuana Registry?

States that have legalized medical marijuana often have registries to identify patients with valid doctor’s recommendations for marijuana. Because medical marijuana is illegal in Illinois, there is no Illinois marijuana registry. Furthermore, individuals who are on registry lists in other states receive no legal benefits or additional defenses from prosecution while in Illinois.
