Equal Hours for Cannabis
You can buy a bottle of wine at midnight, but not cannabis? That doesn’t make sense.
Take action and Let’s fix it.
It’s time to update the rules on when dispensaries can be open. Right now, we can walk into a grocery store late in the evening to buy alcohol, but dispensaries have to close earlier. That doesn’t really make sense to me. Cannabis is legal. Why should it be treated differently?
Operating hours should serve the customer, not the calendar. Illnesses and work shifts don’t end at 10 PM. We believe cannabis retailers should be trusted to operate on standard retail schedules, similar to pharmacies or grocery stores. Arbitrary time restrictions only hurt working families who need flexibility to access their products safely and legally. For people who work odd hours or have busy schedules, this makes it harder to shop at a time that actually works. Dispensaries should be allowed to operate the same hours as other stores that sell alcohol.
Use the form to tell your lawmakers: Treat legal dispensaries like any legal store and demand equal hours for cannabis.
Who We Are
The Illinois Action Center was built on a simple premise: The people who use a service should have a say in how it works. Too often, the laws governing your local dispensary are debated by people who have never stood in line for medication or tried to run an errand on a tight schedule. Legislators debate policy in the abstract and you navigate the results every single day. It shouldn’t work that way.
