Senator Laura Ellman speaks on the Senate floorSPRINGFIELD – State Senator Laura Ellman (D-Naperville) released the following statement regarding the Senate’s vote to legalize adult-use cannabis:

“When it comes to legalizing adult-use cannabis, safety has always been my top concern. Right now, cannabis is being grown, processed, sold and consumed without any regulations or oversight. I believe that legalizing and regulating cannabis is a safer alternative to our current system. This bill includes important regulations and provisions that ensure that cannabis is grown, processed and distributed in a safe, transparent manner.”
