Illinois cannabis consumers and business owners need to stand up against unnecessary overregulation. House Bill HB3061 would require special permits for cannabis consumption events, making it harder for businesses to host legal gatherings on their own property. This is excessive government interference that discourages industry growth and limits consumer access.
Instead of forcing event organizers to go through costly and complicated permitting processes, Illinois lawmakers should focus on amending the Smoke-free Illinois Act to create fair and reasonable cannabis consumption guidelines, just like those already in place for tobacco use.
We need your help to stop HB3061. Contact your local representatives and tell them to oppose this bill and instead explore reasonable amendments to the Smoke-free Illinois Act. Use the template below to make your voice heard.

Subject: Oppose HB3061 – Support Fair Cannabis Regulations
Dear [Representative’s Name],
I am writing as a concerned voter and supporter of Illinois’ legal cannabis industry. House Bill HB3061 places unnecessary restrictions on cannabis consumption events by requiring special permits, adding red tape that limits industry growth and consumer access. Event holders should have the right to allow cannabis consumption on their own property without excessive government interference, just as tobacco is allowed in designated areas under the Smoke-free Illinois Act.
Rather than overregulating the industry, I urge you to oppose HB3061 and instead advocate for reasonable amendments to the Smoke-free Illinois Act that allow for designated cannabis consumption areas. This approach ensures fairness, supports small businesses, and respects consumer rights while maintaining public safety.
Please stand with the Illinois cannabis community by rejecting HB3061 and working toward practical, balanced regulations.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
