Residents In Stockton To Vote On Recreational Marijuana

Village of Stockton residents can weigh in on whether the retail sale of cannabis should be allowed within municipal limits. A nonbinding advisory question will appear on the ballot during the Tuesday, March 17, primary election by request of a group of alarmed citizens. Since the State of Illinois legalized recreational cannabis on January 1st, leaders in Jo Daviess County communities have deliberated on whether to permit such businesses within their borders. The cities of East Dubuque and Galena recently greenlighted them, after passing siting ordinances.
