MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — Illinois revenue officials say plenty of Wisconsinites are crossing the border to buy legal marijuana.
A new report shows that nearly half of marijuana and THC sales in Illinois counties neighboring Wisconsin came from north of the border in 2022.
Total sales to Wisconsinites was over $120 million, raising about $36 million in taxes for Illinois.
It’s not legal to possess or use pot in Wisconsin, but it is legal in three of its neighboring states.
