Galesburg may see its first legal recreational marijuana sales next month, but only if there's enough cannabis to go around.
Nature's Treatment of Illinois currently owns a dispensary in Milan, near the Quad Cities. The company is opening a second, recreational-only dispensary in an old Aldi grocery store in Galesburg.
The adult-use dispensary has faced delays linked to a statewide shortage of cannabis supply. Under Illinois law, medical patients get first dibs on product. Other dispensaries have faced shortages due to high demand.
NTI said it's plotting a mid-March debut for the Galesburg dispensary, with food trucks in the parking lot on opening day.
Cannabis dispensaries currently operate in Peoria, East Peoria, and Canton.
