Cannabis Laws in Quincy, Illinois
Illinois legalized recreational cannabis on January 1, 2020 under the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act. Quincy has opted in to allow both recreational and medical dispensary sales. Here's what you need to know before your visit.
Illinois residents can buy up to 30g of cannabis flower, 5g of concentrate, or 500mg of THC in edible form per transaction. Out-of-state visitors receive half those amounts. You may visit multiple dispensaries in a day, but each transaction is capped independently.
Public consumption of cannabis is prohibited in Quincy and Adams County. Cannabis use is legal only in private residences. Visitors should respect local ordinances and consume only in appropriate private spaces.
You must be 21 or older with a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID. Accepted forms include a driver’s license, state ID, passport, or military ID. Medical patients aged 18–20 need a valid Illinois medical cannabis card.
Driving under the influence of cannabis is illegal in Illinois. When transporting purchased cannabis, keep it in a sealed, odor-proof, child-resistant container in your trunk or a locked compartment — not accessible to the driver. Open containers in vehicles carry the same penalties as open alcohol.
