Suburban voters saying yes to marijuana sales, but some concerns persistPosted by MMP News AuthorOn November 15, 2020

Voter approval of recreational marijuana sales in the suburbs this year is a sign that public acceptance of the long-illegal substance has turned a corner, industry experts and some elected officials say.

Though tallies remain unofficial, voters in Elk Grove Village, Mount Prospect, Glen Ellyn, Park Ridge, Batavia and Wilmette all appear to have said yes Nov. 3 in advisory referendums asking if their towns should allow the sale of recreational pot.
