The Dudes judge the judges’ judging at the High Times 2023 Illinois Cannabis Cup. Ohio’s new rec market is doing a lot of things right and highlights the stagnation of Illinois’ industry. The passage of SB1559 puts a two-year moratorium on new transport licenses and fees to help with small business equity. What dirty laundry does a recent FOIA request turn up on local dispensaries and cultivators?
