Illinois lawmakers have approved a measure not only to allow medical marijuana to be used in place of prescription painkillers, but also to eliminate requirements for patients to get fingerprints and criminal background checks.
The change would allow all new applicants to buy medical marijuana from licensed dispensaries based on their doctor's orders, rather than having to wait up to four months for bureaucratic approval. Patients could no longer be denied based on criminal convictions. This bill has not yet been signed into law.
