Mike Flannery Recreational Marijuana
Article by Mike Flannery;
Illinois lawmakers working to legalize recreational marijuana hit a snag that other states have wrestled with: whether to allow people to grow a few pot plants for personal use.
The 10 states that have legalized recreational marijuana have different “home grow” rules, with Michigan allowing individuals to grow as many as 12 plants and Washington state not allowing them to grow any.
The question in Illinois was settled Wednesday night when the Senate approved recreational use of marijuana after universal home cultivation of the plant was replaced by a provision allowing only medical-marijuana patients to grow their own.
The differences in home grow regulations reflect how states view the competing arguments about home cultivation: Opponents say it fuels the black market sale of the drug while proponents argue that if businesses can sell it, they should be able to grow it.
“We don’t say anywhere in this country that people aren’t allowed to have a small craft brew at their house if they want to, and I think the same rules should apply here,” said Kris Krane, president the Phoenix-based cannabis business 4Front Ventures.
Legalization legislation from two Chicago Democrats – state Sen. Heather Steans and state Rep. Kelly Cassidy – got off to a much better start this year than in the past because of the November election of Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who campaigned on legalizing recreational marijuana.
But pushback over-policing homegrown pot forced Steans to jettison her original plan allowing cultivation for personal use before Wednesday’s Senate OK. Now, only the state’s 65,000 medical-marijuana patients would be allowed to grow at home. The measure needs House approval by Friday’s scheduled adjournment and Pritzker’s signature before Illinois would become the 11th state to allow recreational pot use.
Mike Flannery Mayor accuses Chicago police of failing to win trust in neighborhoods
Article by Mike Flannery;
He mayor says there is no cause for celebration.
But the 21 shooting victims in Chicago this past weekend are barely half the number shot on the same weekend last year, and that number is far fewer than the 58 victims gunned down — including eight dead — the same weekend in 2016.
If it’s Monday, Chicago’s top cops are at City Hall to discuss what is working and what is not as Mayor Lori Lightfoot demands police become more pro-active.
“I think they now are getting used to me and understanding that, kind of a superficial, light touch isn’t going to do it,” Lightfoot said.
The mayor once again blasted police detectives for allegedly failing to win the trust of residents in the most violent neighborhoods.
“Showing up when there’s a murder or a shooting or any other violent act and being the first time you’ve set foot in a neighborhood, without knowing any of the people, the relevant stakeholders, you’re never going to win the trust of the community that way to be able to solve crimes, because they’re not going to view you as legitimate,” Lightfoot said.
The mayor did meet over the weekend with the president of the police union, a few days after union leaders posted a new attack on what they call “her inflammatory and often false rhetoric…scapegoating the police for the chronic violence that permeates our city.”
Lightfoot said she and the union president plan to meet again.
“I’ve always thought there are things we can work collaboratively on, and I’m looking forward to that opportunity,” Lightfoot said.
City Hall’s current contract with the police union expired two years ago. But the mayor said, given how difficult negotiations are likely to be, it will probably be next year before a new one takes effect.
