SPRINGFIELD – While the trendy emphasis may be on "freeing" people to legally use cannabis, one former addict says the whole "legalize pot" movement now expected to be embraced by Illinois' Democrat-controlled General Assembly is really all about selling THC.
"This isn't your grandpa's weed," Ben Cort says in a TedTalk from Colorado.

Why do you think Miller get the VIP treatment at the capital. He’s owned
