Illinois   Information pages Marijuana Decriminalization Measure Approved by House Committee | House Bill 2332 will allow counties and municipalities to amend their local laws to reduce the penalties for minor marijuana possession offenses of up to 15 grams of marijuana to a fine only misdemeanor. You can read the full text of this proposal   >> here << House Bill 2332 was approved by the House Judiciary Committee in a 9-5 vote. The measure now awaits action from the full House of Representatives. Under present law, the possession of less than 2.5 grams of marijuana is a Class C misdemeanor, punishable by a jail term of up to 30 days. The possession of between 2.5 - 10 grams of marijuana is a Class B misdemeanor, punishable by up to 6 months imprisonment.   >> Act Now! << House Lawmakers Approve Medical Marijuana Pilot Program | House Bill 01, to enact a statewide pilot program for the medical use of cannabis, was approved by House lawmakers on Wednesday, April 17. You can view the full text of this proposal   >> here << The measure now goes before Senate lawmakers, who have previously approved similar versions of the legislation in prior years. According to a December 2012 CBS News nationwide telephone poll of 1,100 adults, 83 percent of Americans favor allowing doctors to authorize specified amounts of marijuana for patients suffering from serious illnesses.   Act Now! << House Committee Approves Industrial Hemp Bill | Legislation to legalize the licensed cultivation of industrial hemp, House Bill 2668, has been approved by the Illinois House Agriculture and Conservation Committee in a 9-8 vote. The measure now awaits action from the full House. You can read the full text of House Bill 2668   >> here << The United States is the only developed nation that fails to cultivate industrial hemp as an economic crop, according to a 2005 Congressional Resource Service (CRS) report. Hemp is a distinct variety of the plant species cannabis sativa that contains only minute (less than 1%) amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. Farmers worldwide grow hemp commercially for fiber, seed, and oil for use in a variety of industrial and consumer products, including food and clothing. House Bill 2668 would allow Illinois to authorize a licensed, statewide hemp industry.   >> Act Now! << Action in Illinois Here is a link to our Campaigns page where we have 4 different legalization bills that other states could model their own after.  Visit - http://illinoisnorml.org/ilnorml/about/campaigns/ All were drafted with consumer protection as a top priority and are slightly different regulatory models going through different state agencies or a commission to be formed once a bill passes. They are all works in progress until we get one introduced. DUID is our big challenge, we're working with the lobbyist for the Illinois Sheriffs Association to come up with something both sides can be happy with. Currently IL is zero tolerance per se DUID and we (IL NORML) would prefer an impairment based test instead of a metabolite based test. New lawmakers were sworn in today and a shell bill for medical cannabis has been pre-filed- House Bill 1 --  Visit - http://ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=1&GAID=12&DocTypeID=HB&LegId=68357&SessionID=85&GA=98 -- You can further support this effort by contacting Illinois NORML at - 847 341 0591, or - Illinois NORML, PMB #446, 1321 N. Milwaukee Ave. Chicago, Il 60642 - or visiting - www.IllinoisNORML.org Every Day is Illinois NORML Lobby Day Illinois NORML is encouraging folks to lobby their state Rep at the Illinois State Capitol Building in Springfield, when in session. The Capitol Building is located at the corner of Monroe and Second Streets in Springfield, which is located close to the Amtrak Station for those who would like to take the train. Supporters should urge lawmakers to pass bills on medical cannabis, a cannabis decriminalization bill and/or any industrial hemp farming bills that may be in play. Illinois NORML is also hoping people will be raising awareness to the harms caused by cannabis prohibition by discussing the issue with lawmakers and educating them on why they should support changing our cannabis laws. We ask that you dress and act professionally if you can attend. For those who will not be able to make it to Springfield please call or email your State Representative and State Senator and tell them your views of cannabis prohibition. By calling 217-782-2000 the Capitol directory operators will be able to connect you to your legislators' offices. The specific phone numbers and contact info for all general assembly members can be found at http://www.ilga.gov Furthermore, if supporters would like to contact the district office of each of their legislators that is helpful too and setting up an appointment to meet with your State Rep. and State Senator is the best way for them to understand how you feel about our cannabis laws. Please contact Ill-NORML with the results or any responses you get from your lawmakers. Seventeen states and the District of Columbia have enacted laws protecting medical cannabis patients from state prosecution. (see USA page). There is no legitimate reason why Illinois patients should not enjoy these same legal protections. COUNTY DECRIMINALIZATION CAMPAIGN We are asking all Illinois residents interested in helping to end cannabis prohibition to bring a decriminalization ordinance to their county board member. This ordinance would allow county sheriffs and local police to write a $100 ticket to anyone with under 100 grams of cannabis. A sample ordinance can be found at http://www.illinoisnorml.org/content/view/1099/29/ If you would like to help the efforts to end cannabis prohibition in Illinois please consider making a donation at -www.illinoisnorml.org/donate - and Thanks! for supporting an end to cannabis prohibition.

Gonzales v. Raich (2005) held in a 6-3 decision that the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution allowed the federal government to ban the use of cannabis, including medical use even if local laws allow it.

The House of Representatives had never passed legislation to remove criminal penalties for the medical use of marijuana. That all changed on April 17 when, in a close but historic vote, the House passed House Bill 1, The Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act, sponsored by Skokie Democrat Rep. Lou Lang. Here’s the moment: We’re obviously very excited about the House vote, but our work is far from done. We still need to get the bill through the Senate and signed by Gov. Pat Quinn before it can become law. So what can you do to help? First, contact your senator and urge him or her to support medical marijuana. If you or loved one could benefit from medical marijuana, include that in your email, and let us know after you send it. We’ll help you find other ways to get involved and make your voice heard. Letters to the editor are also a great way to keep the conversation going. Email us if you're interested in either option. One last thing: make sure you’re subscribed to our Illinois email alerts so we can keep you posted with timely updates and tips on getting involved.   Visit - http://www.mpp.org/states/illinois/ Learn more about Illinois’s marijuana laws | Illinois' marijuana penalties (720 ILCS § 550) are surprisingly harsh, with penalties ranging from 30 days in jail and/or a fine of up to $1,500 for possession of less than 2.5 grams (about one-tenth of an ounce) to one to three years in a state penitentiary and fines of up to $25,000 for possession of more than 30 grams. There are exceptions though. Many cities give officers the option to cite offenders and punish possession of small amounts with a fine only. Last summer, Chicago joined that list when Mayor Emmanuel approved an ordinance allowing officers to cite those in possession of 15 grams or less. Violators in the Windy City face fines of $200-500.

The conflict reached a head this week, when Rep. Larry McKeon, D-Chicago, challenged Dr. Andrea Barthwell to a public debate about medical marijuana. Barthwell declined the challenge. "I have no need to engage in street theater," she said. McKeon charged that Barthwell's seminars appear to be a smear campaign against his proposal. The lawmaker - who is living with AIDS - said House Bill 407 attempts to improve the quality of life for terminally ill patients struggling with the debilitating side effects of chemotherapy and other treatments. "This is about dealing with health problems that traditional medications have failed at," McKeon said.

In Illinois, a joint effort by the Marijuana Policy Project and the in-state group Illinois Drug Education and Legislative Reform (IDEAL), backed by an impressive array of state medical groups, came up against a concerted counter-attack by prohibitionists led by former deputy drug czar Andrea Barthwell, an Illinois resident, and was bushwhacked by a surprise blitzkrieg appearance by a heavily-guarded drug czar John Walters at a committee hearing last month. After Walters' appearance, the bill failed in committee on a 7-4 vote. Reformers had one last chance at a new vote early this month, but on March 9, the last day to pass bills out of committee in the Illinois House, the bill lost again on a 6-5 vote. With committee Republicans voting in a bloc against the bill, two Democratic defectors, Reps. Naomi Jakobsson (Champaign) and Michelle Chavez (Cicero) provided the margin of defeat. House Bill 407, the Illinois Medical Cannabis Act, was introduced by Chicago Democrat Rep. Larry McKeon, an HIV sufferer, and would have allowed people with debilitating diseases such as cancer, AIDS, multiple sclerosis, and chronic pain to legally possess up to two and a half ounces of marijuana and up to 12 cannabis plants. Patients would have had to register with the Illinois Department of Health to obtain an ID card that would exempt them from arrest and prosecution. The bill would have also allowed for designated caregivers to grow marijuana for patients who are unable to do so. ...

Friday, February 18, 2005 | Irvin Rosenfeld and the Compassionate IND -- Medical Marijuana Proof and Government Lies. Irv Rosenfeld's appearance at the Illinois medical marijuana hearings has drawn quite a bit of attention and interest. People have been asking me questions about him and the program, so I thought I'd go into more detail. But first... Steve at decrimwatch was also at the hearings yesterday and provides a fabulous perspective on the detention of Irv Rosenfeld. "The government does give marijuana to patients. I'm living proof," he told reporters during a press conference. "I'm also living proof that it works well. I'm also living proof that the government doesn't want to know how well it works. If they want to do research, all they have to do is contact me." He brought a tin can full of marijuana cigarettes that he picks up at his pharmacy each month and showed them to a room full of astonished state legislators during the hearing. Shortly after his presentation, he found himself surrounded by four burly state security officers.... You see, Irv Rosenfeld is one of a small group of patients who actually gets medical marijuana legally from the federal government -- yep, that same federal government that sends storm troopers to arrest California patients doing the same thing. He is part of the Compassionate IND (Investigational New Drug) program and gets about 300 marijuana cigarettes in a metal tin prescribed to last 25 days. He was a real hit at the Illinois House Committee hearing yesterday. The press was particularly fascinated by the notion that someone could be legally carrying around a tin of marijuana in the State Capital. (seen here examining Irv's tin and supporting letters) ...

Barthwell has embarked on a lecture series presenting the dangers of marijuana use -- particularly in the face of Illinois House Bill 407, which would create the Illinois Medical Cannabis Act. Barthwell is the former deputy director for Demand Reduction from the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy -- otherwise known as the deputy drug czar. The Illinois Medical Cannabis Act, sponsored by Rep. Larry McKeon, D-Chicago, would allow a person diagnosed with what the bill describes as a "debilitating medical condition" to be a card-carrying legal cannabis user. The sick person and that person's primary caregiver would be allowed to own up to 12 cannabis plants and two and a half ounces of "usable cannabis." ...

This mind altering drug goes by other names as well; names such as weed, pot, joint, blunt, hash and mary jane are quite common among users. Cannabis is a plant that contains a chemical called cannabinoids or cannabinolidic acids. Another substance that is found in cannabis is THC, or Tetrahydrocannabinol, which gives the users that “high” sensation. When speaking of marijuana, the actual substance used in creating the high feeling comes from the leaves and flowering tops of the cannabis plant. Marijuana is considered to be a schedule 1 controlled substance today, because of the THC, which can be highly potent, depending upon the concentration factor of the THC.
