JB Pritzker to Legalize Recreational Weed Nearly Right Away
Know someone in jail for pot, first there's this:
“I definitely want to look at all those arrest records. If we’re going to legalize recreational marijuana, then we shouldn’t have all the, what I think are, challenges in our criminal justice system, you know, still existing, people sitting in prison for things that are currently legal,” - JB Pritzker
Well here we go Illinois, legal weed is coming. According to Fox 32 Governor-elect JB Pritzker says about legalizing recreational weed:
“That’s something we can work on nearly right away.”
Illinois goes green, coming really soon.
