Quincy, Il (WGEM)- Beginning on January 1st, the sale of recreational marijuana will be legal in the state of Illinois, and the city of Quincy has voted to allow dispensaries to operate in their city. Despite the reservations of some citizens, the Quincy city council voted 7 to 5 in favor of adult-use cannabis facilities, with two absent councilmen. Under the ordinance passed on Monday, these new dispensaries must be set 100 feet away from any schools or daycare centers, and within 1500 feet of another cannabis distribution facility.
