Illinois Will 'Blow Past' $1 Billion In Cannabis Sales This Year, Chamber Of Commerce President Says

Illinois' cannabis industry is growing up fast with adult-use recreational cannabis sales expected to hit $1 billion by year-end.

In March alone, Illinoisans spent $110 million on weed for fun, Newsweek reported.

Todd Maisch, president and CEO of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, said one factor contributing to Illinois' explosive growth is that most neighboring states haven't legalized marijuana yet.
