ROCKFORD, Ill (WIFR) — Legislation to legalize recreational use of Marijuana in Illinois takes place in 2020. Some locals are interested in turning it into a business venture.
“It’s just great to get the information,” says Rockford native Rahman Kamau. “It will give me more time to study, and then when I get ready I think I’ll go ahead. Just due to the limits of how they’ll approve people, I think I will wait at least till 2021.”
The city, along with the Small Business Development Center and Hempstock Pharms hosted a small business forum Thursday night. It was designed to inform and answer questions for those interested in starting a business.
“In some states, things have moved really quickly, and they just want to make sure locally that first of all the right people get opportunities to participate,” says Matt Simpson, who works on the City’s Community and Economic Development team. “It’s important that it doesn’t end up proliferating out of control.”
