The Illinois Department of Human Services has launched a website — LetsTalkCannabisIL.com — as part of an awareness campaign to provide resources for health and safety information about legal cannabis use.

Topics range from legal use to health information for users such as pregnant and breastfeeding mothers.

“Bringing regulation and safety to a previously unsafe and illegal market was one of the most important things we wanted to accomplish when legalizing adult-use cannabis,” Gov. J.B. Pritzker said. “Our focus of the campaign and website is to provide a trusted source for safety and health information where all residents can go to get their questions answered on safer cannabis use.”
