(Springfield, IL) — With the first sale of medical marijuana in Illinois just weeks away, the number of approved patients continues to inch upward. The state’s public health department says 33-hundred patients have been approved so far, including 20 children, and a few thousand more applications are in the pipeline. The department said last week that a start date for medicinal pot sales would be announced soon. The number of approved patients is still far fewer than had been anticipated when the law establishing this pilot program was approved.
