CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD IN NAPERVILLE SUN: BEYOND DISGUSTING, BEYOND TRAGIC:
2 companies are requesting approval to sell recreational cannabis in Naperville
as city council prepares to discuss restrictions – ERIN HEGARTY (DIERSEN: For a
municipality to allow the sale of recreational pot is to flush its “family
friendly” status down the toilet. Each and every Naperville resident
should urge Naperville’s Mayor and each of its City Council members by email (https://www.naperville.il.us/government/meet-your-city-council/)
and at City Council meetings (the next one is Tuesday, July 16) to vote to ban
the sale of recreational pot in Naperville ASAP. Similarly, each and every
Wheaton resident should urge Wheaton’s Mayor and each of its City Council
members by email (https://www.wheaton.il.us/544/City-Council) and at City
Council meetings (the next one is Monday, July 15) to vote to ban the sale of recreational
pot in Wheaton ASAP.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Before the requests from Green Thumb Industries and Grassroots Cannabis can be
considered, however, the Naperville City Council must decide if they will allow
pot to be sold within city limits and, if yes, what kind of restrictions should
be in place and what kind of tax should be charged. The discussion will start
at Tuesday’s council meeting. . .While municipal officials cannot restrict the
consumption of cannabis in their towns, they can opt out of allowing adult-use
cannabis dispensaries or place restrictions on such things as the number
allowed and where they can be located, according to city documents. The new law
allows only companies with existing medical marijuana dispensaries to begin selling
recreational pot Jan. 1. Those companies will be allowed to sell cannabis from
their current medical locations and one additional retail location, if approved
by the municipality. There are currently 55 medical cannabis dispensaries in
Illinois. Future dispensary licenses are expected to be issued by the state to
non-medical license holders beginning in mid-2020. Should city council members
approve the sale of recreational cannabis, Naperville officials would have to
amend zoning code. The city can change its existing medical cannabis ordinance
so it applies to adult-use cannabis dispensaries, city documents said. The
ordinance as currently written includes language on where dispensaries are
permitted and how far they must be from schools and residential areas.)
