Is weed legal in Illinois? IL marijuana sales have fallen sharply since hitting a record high in December.

Massive monthly receipts had been one of the few bright spots for Illinois' highly regulated recreational pot program, which has generated over $2 billion in sales over its first two years despite some month-to-month dips.

With an eighth-ounce of flower still selling in some cases for $80 after taxes, Seeger said bringing down prices ultimately relies on state officials"getting out of the way and really allowing competition." Until then, Seeger noted, the state's robust black market will remain dominant. Hendon insisted the state is losing out on $1 billion in cannabis revenue as members of the group pressed legislators to support a variety of bills. Among other things, the proposals would create a streamlined cannabis oversight commission; allow licensed transporters to make home deliveries; remove barriers for those looking to work in the industry and expand both the capacity for craft weed growers and the rules for public consumption.
