The openings come less than three months after Illinois Governor JB Pritzker signed Senate Bill 3222 into law on June 12. The measure amended the state’s Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act to allow licensed dispensaries to offer both drive-through and curbside pickup to recreational consumers and medical marijuana patients, with medical patients receiving priority.
At Village Dispensary, a manager told The Marijuana Herald that customers must place and pay for their orders online before arriving. Staff then verify identification at pickup before handing over the order, similar to the process used for in-store purchases.
