Illinois becomes 11th state to legalize marijuana completely
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a bill Tuesday morning legalizing recreational marijuana use, making the state the 11th to decriminalize the drug.
Starting Jan. 1, adults 21 and over may obtain licenses to grow, sell, possess and consume marijuana. The bill also provides avenues for people with previous marijuana convictions to have their records expunged.
Why can't Alabama be this rad?
