Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and his administration is warning that it will crack down on “bad actors” who affect the availability of medical marijuana.
Responding to growing concerns over shortages and price gouging involving medical cannabis, Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s administration warned this week that he will crack down anyone who may violate laws meant to protect patients.
“Illinois is the only state in the country to write protections for medical cannabis patients into the law and the Pritzker administration is working to ensure supply is protected for patients who rely on it,” Pritzker’s spokeswoman Jordan Abbudayyeh wrote in a statement.
“Bad actors who violate the law will face consequences. … The administration will continue to monitor supply as we implement and administer the program.”
Recreational marijuana sales will be legal in Illinois on New Year’s Day.
