Illinois Legalizes
B. Le Grand
Illinois is the 11th state to legalize cannabis.
The Illinois General Assembly passed a HB 1438
legalizing recreational cannabis use and sale in
the state for adults on May 31, 2019.
The bill takes effect January 1, 2020. Adults aged 21
andoverwillbeallowedtobuyandpossesscannabis.
The possession limits are up to 30 grams, about
an ounce, of cannabis plant material, edibles
totaling no more than 500mg of THC, and five
grams of cannabis concentrate products. Non-
residents will be able to purchase half those
amounts.
Only medical marijuana patients will be able to
grow up to 5 plants at home. You will not be able to
smoke marijuana in public legally. Consumption
in private residences will be legal. Local
jurisdictions will be able to decide for themselves
if they allow dispensaries to let people smoke on-
site.
On January 1, existing licensed medical marijuana
cultivators and dispensaries will begin selling to
adults until new licenses are approved. Per the
law, the state will begin receiving and processing
new license applications on March 15, 2020 and
new dispensary licenses will be issued starting
on May 1, 2020. Further rounds of licenses will
not be issued until after the state completes a
disparity and market study of the industry. The
second round of licenses must take into account
the study's findings.
Similar to California's Prop 64, the legalization
allows for cannabis-related crimes to be
expunged. The Illinois law allows for people
convicted of possession of under 30 grams prior
to legalization to have their records referred
to the Prisoner Review Board and Governor
Pritzker for pardon. If the pardon is granted, the
Illinois attorney general will move to expunge
their records. Those convicted of possession of
larger amounts can petition for engagement
themselves. Local state's attorneys can also
pursue expungements on a case by case basis.
Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx has stated
she supports marijuana legalization in Illinois,
and that her office will expunge all misdemeanor
marijuana convictions once it becomes legal. She
also said the State's Attorney's Office is currently
looking at its policy on prosecuting people who
have been detained for selling marijuana once it
becomes legal in the state.
Ozzy Osbourne
Now Uses CBD Oil
B. Le Grand
After a tough year of battling pneumonia and injuring
himself at home tripping and colliding with a mirrored
bedside table, Ozzy Osbourne’s wife Sharon revealed
that the former Black Sabbath singer is now using CBD
oil to treat his pain and stay off pharmaceutical pain
killers. The Osbournes joined the long and growing list
of celebrities vocalizing support and the use of CBD or
cannabis.
Sharon told iTV’s Loose Women in Britain, “He’s off all of
those [painkillers]. He had to have it after he was operated
on the last time but now for pain, he has that CBD —
whatever it’s called— and he’s dealing with it that way.”
She explained that she doesn’t want him on highly
addictive painkillers, given his past drug addiction
problems. Sharon also admitted that she’s been on
antidepressant drugs for 23 years and continues to
battle the disease. Ozzy said that he first saw a cheap
CBD product adorned with cannabis leaves while
waiting in line at a bodega and said to himself, “Fuck it,
it’s only a dollar.”
“Ozzy’s had a really tough year, really,” Sharon said. “It
started off with flu, which went to bronchitis, which went
to pneumonia. He was hospitalized. He came out, he
was well on the road to recovery and he gets up in the
middle of the night to go to the loo, and on the way back,
he tripped up on the carpet that was under our bed and
fell against the corner of the bedside table, which is
made of mirror [glass] and he hit it at such a speed and
taken to hospital.”
Ozzy is now 70 years old, and we’re stoked for him
that he’s finally turned to CBD. In addition to the many
injuries witnessed on their reality tv show, Sharon
described his reinjuries in detail. “A few years ago, he
was in a motorbike accident and he had to have metal
rods put in his body and the accident moved all the
metal rods and the bones they were screwed into all
splintered. Then he had trouble with his neck and they
had to do two operations on him and he’s in recovery
now, thank goodness. But every day he has to work with
a physiotherapist.”
the trend has since reversed, climbing up with world wide trends happening
back up to 1,519 adolescent arrests in on social media discussions, with
2017. Around 80% of the cannabis cases some celebrities bucking Japanese
in 2018 involved possession, followed conservative tradition in favor of a

Cultivation has particularly been on authorities in Japan have shown little
an upward trend, with 152 people interest, if any, in moving in that direction.
