Medical cannabis patients will be able to continue to utilize their designated caregiver to purchase medicine for them,” the agency said in a press release on Tuesday. “However, dispensaries may not deliver medical cannabis to a patient or caregiver’s home. These rules do not apply to adult use cannabis sales; those must still take place inside the limited access area.” The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation said that “medical cannabis patients may be particularly vulnerable to COVID-19 due to pre-existing conditions,” which was a factor in instituting the new guidelines. Those new rules will be in effect until March 30. “Our top priority is to minimize the risk of and protect as many people from exposure to COVID-19,” said Toi Hutchinson, a senior advisor for cannabis control to Illinois Gov. The new rules were announced this week by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation as part of the state’s efforts to combat the spread of COVID-19. “The guidelines will permit the dispensary to sell medical cannabis on the dispensary’s property or on a public walkway or curb adjacent to the dispensary.
