Two Dispensaries In Chicago Targeted By Molotov Cocktail Arson

There is a scary reason why two cannabis dispensaries in Illinois caught on fire and were destroyed. This is a serious crime.

Deliberate Fire Burns Down Two Illinois Cannabis Dispensaries

Unfortunately, fires happen all the time. They ruined people's dreams. It's even worse when the destruction is caused by arson. Recently, in Chicago, two cannabis dispensaries were set ablaze.

This wasn't your typical arson case. The person who set both of these dispensaries on fire used a Molotov Cocktail to destroy the businesses. That's when you pour flammable liquid into a bottle, put a cloth halfway inside, and hang out the rest. Then you start it on fire and throw it at your target. That will do some serious damage.

According to Chicago police, during each of the two incidents, which unfolded in the early morning hours, an individual broke the front window of a cannabis dispensary before using a Molotov cocktail to start a fire inside.

The Chicago police are currently looking for the suspect who was caught on security camera footage. They must really hate pot because that was a dangerous stunt to pull off. Luckily, no one was injured.

I wonder what that neighborhood smelled like with all that weed on fire. Did all the residents catch a free second-hand smoke buzz? Were all the restaurants in that area super busy because everyone had the munchies?
