Long lines, celebrations mark first hours of recreational marijuana sales in Illinois

Starting Wednesday, adults 21 and older could visit licensed dealers and buy up to 30 grams of flower, 5 grams of concentrate or 500 milligrams of infused products such as edibles. Cannabis is still barred by federal law — though authorities aren’t expected to enforce that locally — and it will remain illegal in Illinois to use it in public, at schools, in parks, government buildings, on a bus or train, in a car or truck, or near kids.
