Medical Marijuana Dispensary at 500 W. 18th Street Gets Green Light

If you've got medical or "medical" issues and marijuana is the remedy sometime in the near future you may be heading west on 18th street to get your dose (via Chicago Tribune):

A city zoning panel Friday gave a thumbs-up to six more medical marijuana dispensaries in Chicago while denying one proposal and putting off decisions on six others. 

Prospective medical marijuana dealers made their pitches to the Zoning Board of Appeals to set up in various neighborhoods, touting their security and financial plans. The board approved all but one of the applicants who came forward Friday. 

The applicants each will still need to vie for one of a handful of state licenses to open the businesses in Chicago.

While this isn't a completely done deal, it was a step in that direction.

Stay tuned.
