Plug!Choso who you walked all the way across campus to meet, nervously waiting in the almost always empty parking garage underground level. You don’t even really smoke weed but sorority elections are coming up soon and if you can be the “cool one” to get everyone lit on 420 (as your last plug recently got busted) you could secure a lot more votes. Sure, you were going to an extreme length to win but the last 4 generations of your family have been president of this chapter at your university. You didn't think your mother would even let you back in the house this summer if you didn’t win. So reluctantly, here you are. 

Plug!Choso who when he finally pulls up intimidates you with his looks when he rolls down his window as he’s all dark hair, piercings and tattoos. You want to just do the transaction through the window but he tells you to “get in”. You were a new customer and he had to vet you first to make sure you “weren’t 12.”

Plug!Choso who laughs in your face when you angrily slam the door taking offense and yelling at him if he ‘that regardless of your baby face he was fucking blind if he really thought you looked like a 12 year old.’ You turn up your nose at him but quickly are made to feel like an idiot when he clarifies he meant 12 as in the cops. You blush even harder when he says ‘he’d never mistake anyone with tits like yours for being that young.’

Plug!Choso who you only end up hooking up with because your sorority sisters short changed you. How the hell were you supposed to know an ounce was $250!? You ask if he could let you have a deal at $150 as that's what your old dealer Mahito sold it for before he got busted.

“S’cause his shit was weak, princess. Shouldn’ve even been payin’ that much to be real with you. This is that dank shit and if you want it you gotta pay. I ain’t running a charity.”

You ask if you can pay via venmo, cash app, anything but Choso only takes cash.

Panicking as you did not have $100 extra bucks in cash it’s you who suggests if you could you pay it off in a different way. 

Plug!Choso isn’t one to get sexual favors for weed as he had bills to pay and a baby brother to take care of, but your cute prissy ass reminds him so much of girls from his high school. The ones who’d only ever looked at him back then with disdain. Who came from stable families, were spoiled rotten and thought anyone who didn’t live their perfect cookie cutter life was trash. Choso wasn’t a virgin but he’d lived a damn near celibate life for the last few years, he could use a little stress release from a lil’ snobby thing like you.

Plug!Choso who you only agreed to give a handjob to and you unbuckled the belt on his tattered black jeans as he sits back and lights a joint. You roll your eyes and steel your nerves with a breath as you pull down his boxers. However the sight of his freed cock immediately has your inner slut going crazy. 

How is it that you can’t fit your pink manicured nails completely around his thick shaft?  

Why did his dick have to be so pretty fully erect, red tip throbbing as he pusles in your hand when you tease his frenulum with the pad of your finger? 

And just what's gotten into you now? It's shameful how you're rubbing your thighs together just from seeing him throw his head back while biting his lip to keep from whimpering. You have his sculpted hard abs trembling from you flicking over the bent barbell of his prince albert piercing. 

The silver reflected even in the dim garage lighting as his thick pre collected in drops on the ball of the piercing before dribbling down your hand. You unconsciously wet your lips. You know you only said a hand job but you wanted a taste—badly.

It isn’t long before you are giving into your cravings and talking him fully into your mouth needing a taste of him and forcibly gagging around his girth curious to see how much his cock could have you choking. 

Plug!Choso’s eyes flew open and he almost dropped his joint once he felt the hot n’ slick wetness of your velvety tongue slurping up the pre leaking off his piercing and taking him fully into your throat until he was hitting tonsils. 

Yet it’s because you are the massive slut that you are, it’s an even shorter amount of time before you pop him out of your mouth, lift your skirt and slide your panties to the side in order to bounce on him raw in the driver's seat. He makes you cum so hard your squirt splashes to drench his pants and even hits his dashboard and steering wheel. He reluctantly has to lift you off him at the last minute so he doesn’t come inside, further soiling you and his car. Choso doesn’t mind though as seeing you getting that messy for him made him hard all over again— and he pulls you into the backseat for round 2 which consists of you face-down ass-up getting the backshots of your fucking life.

Plug!Choso who you quickly start secretly hooking up with on the regular. Seeing as everyone loves how hard his shit hits they send you more frequently to pick it up. You pretend like it's a minor inconvenience but your stomach clinches in anticipation thinking of his fat cock inside of you. Of course, you aren’t disclosing to your sorority sisters how his dick hits even harder than his than his weed. You shiver just thinking of it carving through your guts ruthlessly every time you fuck. 

Plug!Choso who you are now secretly texting ‘cowboy’ and ‘eggplant’ emoji whenever you want your doonies beat down— regardless if you are getting weed from him or not that day. However when you are sent to get weed from him, he isn’t even charging you any longer. He tells you to keep it and get a new full set. You always manage to fuck up your acrylics bad when you are with him. Not your fault he fucks you so good you are desperate in the moment to cling to him, the handles, the dashboard— whatever you could get your hands on to grip to keep from loosing your mind as you always end up fucked absolutely dumb. 

Plug!Choso who you end up low-key dating but you are still a huge bitch to him in public. Acting like you don't know who he is when you see him. Tsk, you were just begging for him this morning to meet you in the ‘usual spot’ in the near abandoned campus garage lot so he could fuck you. You treated him like he was dirt beneath your shoe whenever you’d see him even though you’d be crying on his cock beneath him just a few hours prior. Choso thinks it’s disrespectful and annoying as fuck but he just deals with it. It's not like he's caught feelings or anything yet.

Plug!Choso who puts up with your shitty attitude and being your dirty little secret as you are the best— and only pussy— he’s had in a while. Not to mention you are always super sweet to his brother Yuji, who adores you. Choso didn’t intend to ever have you meet him but he ended up having Yuji with him one day. He had to pick him up out of the blue as an emergency near the same time he was supposed to pick you up from the nail salon. 

Although you had even got a fresh wax at the salon and were ready to show it off, finding Yuji, all of 7 years old, in the backseat was an immediate buzz kill. Initially expecting Choso to tell you that’s his kid, a pang of guilt ran through you when he explained his little brother who he takes care of got sick at school and needed to be picked up right away. You weren’t answering his calls or texts and he didn’t want to leave you hanging without a ride. 

You don’t tell Choso you’ve silenced notifications from him (in case one of your sisters were to see his name popup). Instead, you offer to cook Yuji soup when you learn it's only Choso solely taking care of Yuji. Especially after Choso confesses he was just going to pick up a can of chicken noodle and some crackers from the store. 

Heart fluttering at how gentle you are with Yuji in contrast to your usual demanding and bitchy nature, Choso curses at himself that he might be falling in love with you. Although he is well aware his feelings would never be reciprocated by you. Nevertheless, as a ‘thank you’ for dinner, after putting Yuji to bed Choso eats you out for 2-hours straight on the sofa. You end up having to stuff your soggy panties in your mouth to keep your cries in and not wake up Yuji. The way Choso is sloppily munching on your pussy has you cumming deliciously back to back to back on his thick pliable tongue. 

Plug!Choso who after you end up fucking more at his house, a mile or so away from campus, rather than his car these days. In fact, it isn’t even all about sex anymore as you spend the majority of your time over there helping Yuji with his homework, baking cookies, playing games and movie nights with the two of them. 

Once Yuji would go to bed Choso would bring you to the basement to smoke you out before he fucked you out. It’s during one of these smoke sessions though you learn that Choso actually got a full ride scholarship to go to the same university you do now 5 years ago but one quarter into his first year his parents had both died in a tragic accident. Yuji was only 2 then and the thought of losing the only family he had left to foster care was not an option for Choso. When the time came he stepped up to the plate and didn’t think twice about dropping out. 

However fast food jobs and grocery store shifts weren’t cutting it. He’d have to spend nearly all day and night away from Yuji just to keep a roof over his head to afford his late-parent’s mortgage. Dealing, although dangerous, was the best option and being the actual genius Choso was, he was smart about it. More guilt fills you always assumed anyone slanging drugs on the street was a burnout who couldn’t cut the real responsibilities of life. Yet Choso already had way more responsibility than anyone his age should have had.

You had sorely misjudged him.

Plug!Choso who realizes sooner than you do the closer the two of you become the harder it is for you to juggle Sorority life and Choso and Yuji— it’s almost as if you are living a double life. Truthfully you are, in a way as you are always sneaking off. Choso wonders what lies you tell your sorority sisters to be gone most weeknight evenings and weekend mornings. The lies of ‘labs' or ‘volunteer work’ wouldn’t likely cut it much longer. When you’re not around, Choso reasons he should probably cut things off with you before the inevitable fall out happens. But he always reconsiders when Yuji kept consistently inquiring as to where his ‘pretty lady girlfriend is’.  

Choso doesn’t have the heart to tell Yuji you aren’t his girlfriend yet. 

Plug!Choso who starts inviting you to Yuji’s little league games on weekends once Yuji expresses with abundant enthusiasm he wants you to see him play! The little guy, who is not so little for his age, is actually pretty athletic. Adorably every home run he hits he always makes sure to wave to you and Choso in the stands. Grinning widely Yuji blushes at your praise and cheering for him, which makes you just want to cheer harder. Your high school cheerleading experience finally coming in handy again. You go so often that sometimes other parents mistake the two of you for Yuji’s mom and dad. You always hastily respond “I’m just a family friend!”

A family friend. Not Choso's girlfriend. 

Plug!Choso whose jaw clenches whenever this happens— not that you ever notice. What the fuck were you doing if you weren’t dating? Yet Choso knew he couldn’t be completely mad at you as even after 3 months he still hadn’t technically asked you to be his girlfriend. Still that fact angers Choso too as he knows he hasn’t because he fears— no he knows— you wouldn’t say yes. Choso picks you up and drops you off blocks away from campus. You also managed to deflect every suggestion for going out on an actual date night on the town when Yuji is over his friend's Megumi or Nobara houses. Also you sure as shit don’t invite him to the many greek life parties you attend (not that he even wanted to go— I mean he would for you. If you'd ask him). Hell, you don’t even follow him back on IG and he knows better than to like or comment on anything other than your stories which goes straight to your DMs. 

Plug!Choso knows you have a reputation to protect and how it would look for the tall n’ scary pierced n' tatted emo drug dealer to be the one by your side. Choso eventually resigns himself to live in the shadows of your life for now. Choso would just have to work harder to pay off the house so he could stop dealing and be someone you’d want to show off (even if deep down he feels he will never be good enough).

However this all comes to a boil a few weeks later the morning of the championship game for Yuji’s little league. As their star player Yuji was so excited to be in his first championship and made you pinky promise you would come. 

“I wouldn’t miss it for the world, kiddo!” You lovingly beamed at him. 

But you lied.

You did miss it. 

Finals and the sorority election week had come up fast out of nowhere and hit you like a whirlwind. As a result you saw little of Choso and Yuji in the days leading up to it. Yet at the end of the week you emerged victorious, both in keeping up your 3.8 GPA and winning the election for sorority president. You were so ecstatic on both accounts that you partied hard the night before Yuji’s big game.

Coincidentally forgetting about it entirely as the next morning was the Annual Greek Council Brunch event to officially inaugurate all new Greek council members across all sororities and frats. As newly elected president and since your sorority was hosting this year it was your job to throw it. It was a huge event that even parents and chapter alumni attended. 

Plug!Choso who smoked 3 cigarettes as he waited for you for nearly 40 minutes before he knew he had to leave soon or he’d miss the start of the game too. Deciding to drive by your sorority as a last ditch effort Choso sees red when he spies you on the lawn giggling and flirting with the campus caterers as you direct them to the back of the house. You looked gorgeous, all dolled up, hair done and make-up flawless. The dress you wear looks expensive, something he might even be able to afford to buy you if he wasn’t making triple mortgage payments each month to cut the interest and pay off his home faster. However, he can't deny the baby blue checkered fabric looks great on you. A fact Choso notices the caterer douchebags didn’t miss either as they fall a few steps behind you to check out your plump ass and rib at each other.

Plug!Choso who knows the reasonable thing to do would be to just drive away and avoid any conflict. Although before his mind registers it his body is already flicking his cigarette butt out of the open car door before slamming it shut as he storms across the lawn of your sorority house. Reaching the back of the house Choso was taken back by how grand everything looked. A sea of pristine white tables adorned with arrays of bouquets, fine china and crystal glasses that sparkled divinely in the morning sun. The event was still in setup mode so more flowers, decorations and adornments were being brought in by the second by workers brushing past Choso like he wasn't even there.

In any other scenario a grand display of refinery such as this would have Choso feeling self-conscious and out of place. He is aware as good as anyone else how sorely his dark looks contrast with the peppy and airy vibes of greek life.

However, all that flees out of his mind as soon as he sees you near the DJ booth—now having the nerve to shamelessly flirt with him too. 

“Yo, princess.”

Plug!Choso who seems casual from his tone but the look on his face is anything but. You on the other hand looked as if you had seen a ghost as all the color drains from your face. 

“Choso!”

You squeaked out a greeting as your head whips around to see who all was around.

Phew! Thankfully it was mostly staff and the greek members who were helping with setup were still inside.

But what the fuck was Choso even doing here?

You started to get pissed as he knew better than to roll up on you like this and today of all days!? 

“Come on, let’s go, we're gonna be late.”

He grabs your arm which you quickly snatch back from him giving him an incredulous look as if he just sprouted two more heads.

“What the fuck Choso, you can’t just barge in here like this! Have you lost your mind?! What are you even doing here?!” 

You try to keep your voice hushed as you pull him to the side of the DJ booth trying not to draw attention. 

“Nah princess, the question is what the fuck are you doing here?”

Irritation was dripping from Choso’s words who clearly didn’t give a single fuck about how loud he was being or the boundaries you’d set around your school life and it made your blood boil. He knew this was a busy week for you and you wouldn’t be around as much, he couldn’t wait a few more days!?

What right did he have to be here right now?

Let alone be this upset with you? 

You roll your eyes as you scoff. 

“Well as I am the newly elected president of this sorority it's my job to throw this brunch! I’ve had a really long stressful week and this is a really big event for me. My first event even! I have so much–”

“—Fuck! Are you really this clueless?!”

Choso angrily snaps at you and you are visibly startled into silence as his interruption immediately shuts you up.

He’s towering over you now and you’ve never realized before just how much bigger than you he was. His personality was usually so chill and unassuming that it shrunk his overall presence.

Come to think of it you’ve never even seen him angry before, annoyed sure, but he was clearly mad mad now.

“I– Me– My— Goddamn it, do you really think of no one but yourself?!”

The DJ, who had been overhearing your conversation tries to butt-in to white knight for you but is quickly told off by Choso who tells him ‘walk the fuck on while he still had legs that could walk’. The advice which was expeditiously taken as the DJ quickly left the conversation just as fast as he’d entered it.

“Choso– what the—”

Choso doesn’t let you finish, cutting you off again.

Fed up with this, you and whatever twisted situationship you currently had— he needed to say his piece. 

“—I’ve been waiting for you for almost an hour, princess. Does your self absorbed lil’ brain even remember why?”

Your own anger is quickly dissipating into confusion as you cannot fathom what in the hell Choso was even talking about. It takes you a few good moments but your eyes widen once you realize.

Oh shit…

“Umm…Y-Yuji’s big game, isn’t today– is it?”

You meekly asked but you already knew the answer. 

“Bingo, princess! You’d promised him you’d be there. Do you know how much he’s been looking forward to this? It’s all he’s been talking about. Do you know how crushed he’s going to be if you aren’t there?!”

Shit! Shit! Shit!

You knew balancing seeing Choso and Yuji with your increasingly demanding school life was starting to get more challenging but you didn’t realize you’d fuck up this badly.

You really didn’t want to disappoint Yuji, who at this point felt like your own little brother that you never had —but you’d be prepping for this sorority presidency nearly your entire life! 

Your parents were even coming to this! 

Shit, which reminds you Choso cannot be here when they show up. 

Plug!Choso who knows he’ll have to speed now when he leaves if he wants to make the first pitch of Yuji’s game and makes one last ditch effort to get you to attend, but of course it fails.

“Choso, I– I can’t. I want to... but you know how important this is to me. My family. They will be here soon too I—”

Choso tunes out the rest of your excuses as your mention of ‘my family’ had cut unintentionally deep.

You’d gotten so close to him and Yuji that you did feel like ‘their family’. But you weren’t and it was the foolish hope that you could one day become that Choso selfishly indulged in.

He could deal with the hurt, he was used to life shitting on him but it wasn’t fair to Yuji. 

“There he is! That’s him!”

The pussy ass DJ had gone and gotten back up as a group of frat guys in suits rushed over. The commotion was also drawing a few of your sorority sisters and you curse under your breath as a small crowd forms and all eyes draw to you.

“It’s okay guys, he’s clearly lost and is leaving now, right?”

Your voice is bitchy but your eyes are pleading with Choso.

You're pleading with Choso: Not to ruin the event.

Not to be angry with you.

And not to make this situation any worse than what it was. 

“Wait— this guy? He’s that burnout dealer, yeah?”

One of the frat guys chime-in and there's laughter and giggles around.

“Oh my god, it is! He's like so obsessed with her. I always see him creeping around.”

One of your sisters adds with a sneer.

“Not a stalker! Ew!” 

Another one adds.

“What does this weirdo even want with you!?”

More of your sisters chime in.

Choso doesn’t care though.

He only cares what you think. What you’re going to say.

Your phone dings and you look at it. Shit. Your parent’s just arrived on campus.

You didn’t want to do it this way but you had to end this now.

It was better this way. That’s what you would console yourself with later at least.

“Look—Choso was it? This is a private event and you need to leave.”

You turn to your sisters to explain further. “I tutor his little brother for my volunteer work and he somehow got the crazy idea that I was going to go to some little baseball game with them or whatever.”

You turn back to Choso.

“Well— as you can clearly see. I can’t go. I’m busy and like I said this is a private event so again, you need to leave, understood?”

You turn away not being able to stomach the look on his face like a coward and make up some excuse about checking on the ice sculpture which should have been already placed on one of the center banquet tables. 

You know he’s left from the jeers of ‘bye loser!’ ‘fuck outta here freak!’ echo out from the garden. 

This was for the best after all….

I have so many errands to run...was going over them in the to do list today and I was reminded that I could simply go....viking.

SACK THE MONASTERY OF THE ALCHEMISTS for unguents and herbs! (Walgreens for hair bleach and meds)

Traverse the vast LOOP to trade for textiles (Joann fabrics for batting and some fabric ribbon)

STOCK THE SHIP with meats for roasting (spend this whole foods gift card)

TOAST MY ANCESTORS AND FIGHT THE GODS (weed pickup at the dispensary)

Repair the ship and return home to my children (hardware store, then spend the rest of the day cuddling the cats)

PREPARE, CHICAGO, FOR SAM THE INATTENTIVE SAILS THIS DAY ON THE 146 BUS!

[batslime]

So I went to Chicago the other week to accompany a friend to see some podcasters she likes do a live show, and snuck out in the middle cuz it was kinda boring and I needed enrichment and I found a dispensary and bought some cookies.

Here’s the thing. I live in Iowa where it’s not legal. I don’t do this stuff at home. Last time I had weed of any kind was last summer in Portland when I made some thc brownies and it just made me tired and slow. I forget the rules real easy because of the long stretches between. These silver dollar-sized cookies were delta-9 and the serving was 1. So silly little me ate 3 immediately.

Like EXACTLY 45 minutes later, the show had ended so we went to the bar that was in the same building, and it hit HARD. I felt like I was having a heart attack. I asked several ppl to call 911. I so much as thought of an emotion and it was immediately inflicted upon me- I thought the word “sadness” and felt like I was about to cry, and I was hallucinating a little. Everything felt like it happened instantaneously yet took an eternity. I kept forgetting if I was thinking smt in my head or speaking out loud. It was like I was watching the director’s cut of reality.

I was still pretty high and out of it the next day when we went to the field museum. It was my first time there and I kept getting scared because it was so maze-like. Every time I thought I was getting back to normal I would space out again hard, and it took several days before I was fully back to normal.

So like I felt like I learned my lesson but felt kinda dumb getting so turnt at a live podcast show of all things, especially considering all the concerts I went to this year without even really getting too tipsy. Especially since I spent most of the time walking around trying to find somebody to talk to. But my friend just texted me this. How.

New York Lawmakers Demand Scrutiny Of State’s Marijuana Contract With Chicago-Based Private Equity Firm

“This is government. We can’t have things that are done undercover.” By Rosalind Adams, THE CITY A New York lawmaker called for the state to sever its relationship with a Chicago-based private equity firm helping to fund weed dispensaries run by people impacted by the war on drugs following a report from THE CITY revealing…New York Lawmakers Demand Scrutiny Of State’s Marijuana Contract With…

Allegedly 😂🤣😂🤣💀😑🥱 meanwhile back at the ranch thendica18 ・・・ Beware of Cannabis Permit Scams: Illinois Social Equity Applicants Targeted by Exploitative Schemes The legalization of recreational marijuana in Illinois was aimed at promoting equity in the industry by giving people of color a fair chance at acquiring licenses. Unfortunately, some individuals and companies have taken advantage of the new system by exploiting social equity applicants. One such scheme is the advertisement placed on Craigslist by Canna Zoned MLS offering $2,000 to people who met the social equity criteria for cannabis permits in Illinois. In return for the initial payment, respondents were asked to provide certain private records to prove they qualified. The ad promised another $20,000 to anyone awarded one of the permits without mentioning the 51% stake social equity applicants are required to hold in a company to score a license. Edna Patterson responded to the ad and received the payment, but she also signed a contract that could potentially make her a front person. She would be listed as a company’s majority owner on an application but would then have to sell her lucrative share for just $1 if a license is awarded. This exploitative practice highlights the need for stronger safeguards in the cannabis licensing process to protect social equity applicants from being taken advantage of. While Illinois is committed to growing a multibillion dollar industry, state officials must be vigilant in ensuring that social equity applicants are not exploited in the process. Beware of such cannabis permit scams, and always thoroughly research any company or individual before engaging with them.

I work in the legal cannabis industry in the US (IL specifically because the laws vary from state to state) but all weed sold in a dispensary from anywhere in the US is grown in the US in whatever state it's being sold in. It's illegal to transport cannabis from one state to the next and the red tape is VERY strict for companies. There isn't any brick weed being sold from the mid/south America in Chicago dispensaries that isn't even feasible.

No corporate entity would ever break the law.

(I'm assuming you mean my critique of all the legal cannabis farms that propped up ready to sell immediately after legalisation? And not the comment about my ex who used to trade cannabis for 'sexual favours' with other women?)

Curlf, Gtbif, Or Iipr: Which Solid Buy Cannabis Supply Has Greater Advantage Potential?

Coffeeshops get their products from unlicensed producers, while authorities look the other way. But some neighborhood authorities like Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema are fed up with the weed-addled site visitors, pressing bans on non-residents from buying from coffeeshops, although the votes weren't there for her plan in October. A year and a half after legislating recreational cannabis, the very first retail licenses have ultimately been provided even as the black market is booming and also smoke shop burglaries are via the roofing. Numerous EU nations have actually legalized clinical marijuana recently as well as there are a variety of pilot jobs taking place across the continent that may ultimately cause wider legalization.

Marijuana is available with a prescription for a selection of problems, including discomfort, epilepsy and PTSD.

The profusion of opinions on social media and financial blog sites makes it impossible to distinguish between actual growth potential as well as pure buzz.

President Emmanuel Macron has actually specified that he's opposed to recreational legalization.

In his remarks, Steinmetz acknowledged long lines developed outside New Jacket's initial stores providing adult-use marijuana. At a board meeting in Albany today, the OCM awarded 36 conditional retail licenses-- 28 to service and 8 to non-profits. All remain in the 4 boroughs of New york city City aside from Brooklyn, in addition to in Long Island, the Capital Area, the Southern Tier, Mohawk Valley as well as the North Nation.

Nj Town On Verge Of Holding 21st Grown-up Lawful Weed Shop In State

The board acted weeks after approving a separate proposal to offer cannabis products at the former Marlton Diner on westbound Path 70. Mayor Adams, inquired about shops at an unconnected news conference last month, said the city's hands https://cannabislinkinc.com/about/ were tied due to the fact that the regulation had not reached fact. " A law enforcement agent can not just stroll in as well as perform an apprehension, or an apprehension, or confiscate the product," he added.

Head Of State Emmanuel Macron has stated that he's opposed to entertainment legalisation. The state is finishing its first cannabis licensing round with dozens https://cannabislinkinc.com/contact/ of services, ranging from food and also beverage to item packaging, slated for approval. Since Tuesday, the department had provided nine provisional farmer licenses, six provisionary micro-cultivator licenses, and also 27 provisional retail licenses.

Where To Consume At Chicago Midway International Airport (mdw)

The stores, which typically maintain huge quantities of cash, have been targets of break-ins and burglaries, which have occasionally intensified to shootings as well as stabbings. The proprietor of Weed Globe has said that he only sells items with cannabidiol, or CBD. "Their initial proposition was far more extreme," said Blickman, the elderly task officer at the Transnational Institute.

As part of the state's dedication to "social equity," this round of licenses were provided just to business owners who had previous marijuana convictions. The charitable licenses were scheduled for those companies serving such areas. That includes an alert to the district where the dispensary will certainly be located. City authorities have actually looked for to prevent stirring memories of the battle on medications with extensive apprehensions, claimed Jeffrey Hoffman, a marijuana attorney and legalisation lobbyist. Without a significant change in the landscape, accredited marijuana retailers will certainly be forced into competition with unlicensed vendors.

here’s the thing abt chicago dispensaries tho they are beyond overpriced. like most people here either rely on a plug or some even drive all the way to fucking michigan or minnesota to get their weed at a normal price. i can’t speak for the entire state of illinois bc i’ve only been to one dispensary outside of chicago but that one had around the same prices as the others i’ve been to. so yeah.

8 of the Best Things to Do in Chicago in the Summer

Everyone in the Midwest knows summer as a season is truly fleeting. Sure, Chicago has four seasons like the rest of the region, but instead of fall, winter, spring, and summer, it’s more like almost winter, definitely winter, still winter, and summer. Which only means one thing—you gotta enjoy it while you can. So what are some of the best things to do in the Windy City come summer? Here, our tried-and-true guide.

Visitor’s Guide to Summer in Chicago

Head to Lollapalooza Yes, it can make the city feel a little crazy (don’t bother trying to go downtown when this music festival is on, attending or not), but Lollapalooza is a quintessential “summer is here” marking in Chicago, and you need to experience it at least once in your lifetime. If the Lollapalooza lineup isn’t your thing (you can only see Tame Impala, Twenty One Pilots and The Chainsmokers so many times, let’s be honest), there’s also the Pitchfork Music Festival, which specializes in more obscure and underground indie music (Robyn, Stereolab, Amen Dunes and Black Midi are highlights) and Spring Awakening, where you can get your EDM fix with Zedd, DJ Snake and Martin Garrix.

Walk the 606 Similar to the High Line in NYC, this 2.7-mile elevated pathway along an old rail line is an easy way to get some steps in while also seeing some of Chicago’s best neighborhoods: Bucktown, Logan Square, and Wicker Park. Not only will you have access to some quality parks and outdoor spaces, you can also take the occasional break from the path and grab a bite (Small Cheval for burgers in Wicker Park; Irazu’s for authentic Cosa Rican cuisine in Bucktown) or a drink (Scofflaw in Logan Square is always a great pick, but if you’re looking for a uniquely Chicago experience, the nearby Go Tavern and Liquors is one of the city’s few remaining “slashies,” the local term for a bar that’s also a liquor store) before resuming your walk. It’s a great way to see some of the city and enjoy the outdoors.

Hit the Beach Sorry, coastal natives and transplants, but lakefront beaches are just some of the best. And in Chicago, you have your pick of beaches to choose from. Foster Beach is a good pick for a northern option (especially because the end of the beach has a dog area), or head to North Avenue Beach (definitely the most popular of Chicago beaches), where you can spend your time at the Shore Club and reserve lounges or even a signature cabana. Oak Street Beach is also another popular option, and it’s close to downtown. Pro tip: beaches on the south side are more scenic and much less crowded. 57th Street Beach, Margaret T. Burroughs Beach, and Rainbow Beach and Park make for a relaxing day near the water.

See a Flick The Summer Film Series in Millennium Park is a must-do. Running every Tuesday from June through August, catch a free film (on a state-of-the-art, 40-foot LED screen) while the sun sets. Take a seat at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion or bring a blanket (or some folding chairs) to join the masses on the Great Lawn. Outdoor screenings not your thing? Chicago is home to some incredible cinemas, most notably the Music Box Theatre, located in the beautiful Lakeview neighborhood and smack dab in the middle of the Southport corridor. This summer, the Music Box hosts a retrospective of films directed by the late, great John Singleton (Boyz in the Hood).

See a Game You can’t be in Chicago in the summer and not catch a baseball game. It’s basically sacrilegious. Whether you’re on the south side for the White Sox or on the north side for the Cubs, make sure to snag some primo seats and grab a hotdog or five while you’re at it. (Just make sure not to put any ketchup on it, unless you want to out yourself as a tourist and face ridicule from the locals during the game.)

Imbibe on a Rooftop It’s summertime, and the living is easy. Especially when you can have a great cocktail on a gorgeous rooftop high above the city. Popular options include Cindy’s (perched above the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel, with views of Millennium Park and Lake Michigan), Waydown (above the Ace Hotel in the buzzy West Loop, usually with DJs), and the NYC-born Royal Palms Shuffleboard Club (yes, of course there’s a shuffleboard on the roof, too). But there are plenty more rooftops where those come from—ask a local for even more recommendations.

Or Imbibe at a Beer Festival Looking for some craft brews? Chicago boasts a myriad of beer bars and breweries, and in the summer, you can find them at any number of the city’s popular street festivals, many of which are totally beer-centric. Ravenswood on Tap, named after the classic north side neighborhood where it takes place, has become one of the permiere beer events in Chicago in just three short years; meanwhile, in Oak Park, the Microbrew Review is twelve years strong. (Bonus: Oak Park is the location of MedMen’s Illinois store.) There’s also the Chicago Ale Fest, which features 150 craft beers, live music, and more. (Pssst…they also do a fest in the winter, too.)

Get on a Boat Last, but by no means least, is the The Chicago Architecture Boat Tour, a must for local and out-of-towners alike. Downtown Chicago features some of the country’s most stunning and unique architecture, and you’re guaranteed to see the city in a new light as you cruise along the river. Beyond just the tour, getting out on Lake Michigan in the summer is a must. You can have dinner on the Spirit of Chicago; charter a sailboat; rent kayaks; and, of course, there’s always the infamous booze cruise. The lake is your oyster.

MedMen has a medical dispensary in Oak Park.
