Applications for Adult-Use Cannabis facilities (growers, infusers, and transporters) were originally due March 15, 2020. On March 12, the Governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker, issued an Executive Order to extend the submittal deadline. Furthermore, the Illinois Department of Agriculture is no longer accepting applications in person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All applications must be sent via certified mail. The application must be postmarked on or before March 30, 2020. While this does seem like a major \u2018chink\u2019 in the marijuana market chain, Illinois is prioritizing social issues. The state (alongside the rest of the globe) is mitigating the Coronavirus pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applicants are disappointed, but perhaps this\nextension could be seen as a positive. This allows more time for review and\nediting of the application. Are there areas that could be stronger? Were experts\nconsulted on high-scoring sections? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make use of time, let not advantage slip.

Take advantage of this extra time, and attune these sections to increase the likelihood of approval. The Security Planning exhibits remain the highest weighted portion of any cannabis facility application<\/a>. The experts at K.L. Security are still available. We\u2019re ready to assist in the development or fine-tuning of your security plan portion of your facility application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At KL Security, we have a proven track record\nfor compliance with state laws and security requirements. Our experts review\nthe health and well-being of operational protocols to give the best guidance\nfor deterring diversion. Utilizing the Total Harvest Coverage methodology for\nsecurity plans as well as cannabis business operation improvements \u2013 we have\nsuccessful projects in facilities in multiple states. We\u2019ve helped leaders in\nIllinois (as well as the national cannabis industry) drive revenue and stay\ncompliant with state laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This viral response has undoubtedly affected every person in the country. The true implications and severity will not be known until a later date. The marijuana market is in its infancy and will truly be tested. I have faith the market will not only survive but be a driving force in helping America regain its footing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
