An Illinois judge has lifted an injunction that has barred state officials from issuing 60 craft grow licenses in the state’s adult-use cannabis program.
On March 14, Sangamon County Judge Gail Noll restored the applications of 11 unsuccessful applicants who had sued the state to challenge its decision to disqualify them, according to the Chicago Tribune.
The Illinois Department of Agriculture awarded the first round of craft grow licenses last summer, and state law required the department to issue the 60 additional craft grow licenses by Dec. 21, 2021.
