Questions about medical cannabis laws.

[Vexor1717]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this but this is my 1st year as a cardholder and I have some questions about the laws in Illinois in particular.

Everytime I try to research the specifics it either takes me to the statutes which are hard for me to understand or it will take me to sites that contradict each other or are outdated on what I can carry, how much I can keep at one time and things like that. Anyone here know where I can look to for help? Thanks

Other than the 5 plants over 5 inches, no. It does not limit the amount you can have stored securely. It does limit what you can and cant do though.
