Wicker Park - As Governor Pat Quinn signs legislation today making Illinois the 20th state to legalize pot for certain medicinal purposes, Good Intentions LLC at 1723 N. Ashland Avenue is getting ready to open their doors.

According to this report published by Crain's Chicago Business today Good Intentions should be open next week:

Although the law doesn't take effect until Jan. 1, Ms. Jacobi said her clinic does not have to wait for regulations to be issued by the state because it won't dispense or cultivate marijuana or be associated with that end of the business.

"That's not what we do," she said. "We're the first step before anyone gets a card" allowing them to buy up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana every 14 days if they are diagnosed with one of several diseases specified in the bill.

Good Intentions LLC should have their doors open by August 7th.
