“The Village of Country Living,” as it’s known locally, is in line for two recreational marijuana dispensaries.
Customers are greeted by this wall displaying scores of products shortly after they enter the Ivy Hall cannabis dispensary in Waukegan.
If approved by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, the dueling cannabis businesses, Nature’s Grace and Goodies, will be the closest dispensaries to Wisconsin stoners. According to Steve Sadin’s front-page News-Sun story late last month, currently two sites in eastern Lake County in Waukegan’s Fountain Square entertainment zone — Ivy Hall and Planet 13 — are the closest to the Badger State.
The new high times for Wadsworth will put the oleo stampede to shame according to data from the IDFPR, which oversees and regulates the state’s exploding cannabis industry. Perhaps the two bud stores will be open by April 20, the day when doobies are lighted across the U.S. in a nod to legalization. Unsure if Wadsworth qualifies in that regard, but being so close to the border, that may be overlooked. Especially considering Wisconsin lawmakers don’t seem to favor legalization despite annual attempts to do so.
According to the agency, FY2023 saw more than $1.5 billion total dispensary sales. In that period, almost 75% of all cannabis sales went to in-state residents. It’s a share of that 25% of out-of-state sales for which Wadsworth and Waukegan will be vying.
