Illinois Medical Cannabis Explained
In 2013, the state of Illinois legalized medical cannabis through Senate Bill 862, which was signed into law by Governor Pat Quinn. Six years later, in 2019, Governor J.B. Pritzker signed Senate Bill 2023 to legalize recreational cannabis, leading to over $300 million in sales during the first seven months of legalization, according to THCnet.com, a prominent cannabis industry news source.
Illinois Lieutenant Governor Julia Stratton was one of the first citizens to purchase recreational cannabis on the first day of sales, tweeting her support for ending the unjust criminalization of cannabis possession, particularly among Black and Brown communities. She also thanked Governor Pritzker for creating a more equitable Illinois through cannabis legalization.
Today, Illinois allows both qualifying patients and general consumers to purchase cannabis for medicinal or recreational use, marking a significant shift in the state’s approach to cannabis as a therapeutic option. If you are interested in obtaining medical cannabis certification in Illinois, MMJ Certifications can help you schedule an appointment with a licensed medical marijuana doctor to evaluate your medical conditions and provide a recommendation for medical cannabis treatment.

How to get a Illinois Medical Marijuana Card
To obtain an Illinois medical marijuana card, MMJ Certificationos provides a seamless 4-step process that ensures patients can legally purchase and use medical cannabis. Firstly, patients must schedule an appointment with a certified Illinois physician, who will evaluate their ailments and determine if they are eligible for medical marijuana treatment. Once approved, the patient can submit their application to the state of Illinois, and their card will arrive in via email within 2 hours after registration on the Illinois medical cannabis website. With their digital medical marijuana card in hand, patients can begin buying from licensed dispensaries that day.
To qualify for the Illinois medical marijuana program, there are certain requirements that patients need to meet. These are as follows:
- Age: Patients must be 18 years or older. In case of minors, two physicians’ recommendations and legal guardian’s consent are required. We do not certify minors at this time
- Physician Recommendation: Patients must be recommended for marijuana use by a physician licensed in Illinois.
- Residency: Patients must be residents of Illinois and must provide proof of residency.
- License: Patients cannot hold a school bus permit or Commercial Driver’s License.
- Occupation: Patients cannot be a firefighter, correctional officer, active duty law enforcement officer, or correctional probation officer.
These requirements have been set by the Illinois Department of Public Health to ensure that the medical marijuana program is used only by those who truly need it and that it is being used in a responsible manner.

Cultivation & Possession of Medical Marijuana in IL
Illinois state law requires that a registered patient have an “adequate supply” of medical cannabis not exceeding 2.5 ounces within a 14-day period based on their qualifying condition. The state also maintains a registry for patients and caregivers that protects them from prosecution for possessing medical cannabis. Illinois law permits the registration of cultivation centers and dispensaries and imposes a tax of 7% of the sales price per ounce on the privilege of cultivating medical cannabis. There are currently 19 certified state-approved cultivation centers in Illinois. These regulations were established under the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act, which aims to make medical cannabis accessible to eligible patients while ensuring a regulated and taxed industry.

However, unlike medical cardholders, they will not benefit from the 30% tax exemptions and also will not have access to high-potency THC products that are available to those with a medical card.
Patients registered in the medical cannabis program are allowed to buy up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis every two weeks, which amounts to about 5 ounces per month. Additionally, these patients can possess more than 30 grams of cannabis if they grow it at their own homes, provided it’s done under specific conditions and kept securely.
