LEGAL WEED SALES BEGIN IN ILLINOIS

It's a new year and, for Illinois, a new era of recreational
marijuana.

Weed dispensaries across the state opened their doors before sunrise
Wednesday, welcoming long lines of customers - some who had been
waiting since 4 a.m.

"Cheers to lighting up the start of 2020!" one dispensary, Sunnyside,
wrote on its Facebook page.

Under Illinois law, anyone over 21 with a valid state ID or driver's
license can purchase recreational marijuana from licensed retailers.
