(Raymond Neupert, 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 dollars, raising about 36 million dollars 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.
