Cannabis Control Act 1978
Amazingly, cannabis has been legal in the state of Illinois for nearly 30 years. The Cannabis Control Act, passed in 1978, was an attempt to feature common sense drug laws. In order for cannabis to be legal, however, the State Police and Human service must take action, and none has been taken. Gov. Pat Quinn signed a bill legalizing medical marijuana in Aug., 2013 which took effect Jan., 2014.
