Think Big Illinois Executive Director Quentin Fulks released the following statement on the signing of marijuana legalization into law:

“Marijuana legalization is a commonsense measure that will make Illinois more safe, more equitable, and more just for all its residents, and we’re glad to see Governor Pritzker sign it into law today. Legalization will help end the era of mass incarceration, bring economic opportunity to communities across Illinois, and generate much-needed revenue for our state.

“Think Big Illinois applauds the legislators who supported marijuana legalization in the General Assembly, and Governor Pritzker for signing it into law today. This legislation is a national model for marijuana legalization, and we’re proud that Illinois is leading on such a critical justice reform issue. We look forward to seeing how it will help our communities and our state in the months and years ahead.”
