East Peoria's NuMed cannabis dispensary will sell adult-use products on New Year's Day.
The dispensary was quietly awarded permission to sell recreational cannabis last Friday by state regulators. An employee of the store confirmed they expect to have product on January 1st...but didn't know what time they'll open their doors.
The city of East Peoria approved recreational cannabis zoning regulations earlier this year.
Lines are expected at other dispensaries across the state on the first day of legalization. In Central Illinois, Salveo Health and Wellness in Canton is also authorized to sell adult-use products on day 1.
NuMed's dispensaries in Urbana and Chicago were also approved Friday.
