Recreational Cannabis Purchase Limits

Illinois has set legal limits on the amount of cannabis that Illinois residents and out-of-state recreational customers can purchase on a visit to a dispensary:

  • Illinois residents can purchase up to 30 grams of flower, 5 grams of concentrate, and 500mg THC for edibles and infused products.

  • Out-of-state customers can purchase half as much as Illinois residents: up to 15 grams of flower, 2.5 grams of concentrate, and 250mg THC for edibles and infused products.

Medical Cannabis Purchase Limits

Medical cannabis patients can purchase up to 2.5 ounces (70.87 grams) of cannabis every 14 days.

Medical patients also save up to 40% on taxes. Most Illinois residents qualify for a medical card, and you should be able to get your medical cannabis card within 24 hours of applying.

What if I need more than 2.5 ounces every 14 days?

You can apply for a waiver to increase your allotment to 5 ounces every 14 days.

A certifying healthcare professional will need to create a waiver in the State’s online portal to recommend the increase. Once the waiver is created, you will receive an email from the State notifying you that your allotment has been increased.
