Illinois Extends Sales Hours for Medical Cannabis Dispensaries

In an effort by Illinois to level the playing field for its the rapidly growing legal cannabis market, the state's Department of Financial and Professional Regulation is allowing medical marijuana dispensaries to stay open later.

Matching the legally mandated cutoff time of recreational cannabis retail outlets, sellers of medical product may now turn off the lights at 10 p.m., as opposed to the former limit of 8 p.m. (all dispensaries are allowed to open as early as 6 a.m.).

Additionally, on concern that medical cannabis patients might lose out to recreational customers when product supplies become scarce, the department has issued guidance for dispensaries to prioritize such users.
