Agree or disagree, Lake County officials want to know what you think about allowing the sale of marijuana for recreational use in the unincorporated areas.
The adult use cannabis Web page was launched Thursday as a one-stop shop of information on the topic ahead of virtual public hearings April 19 and 21.
The sale and use of marijuana for adult recreational use became legal in Illinois on Jan. 1, 2020.
Like other jurisdictions, Lake County paused before considering whether to allow sales and other aspects of the new industry in its jurisdiction. Lake County officials can establish regulations to allow marijuana businesses or ban them in unincorporated areas.

Lake County has allocated more than $20.6 million in federal funding for eligible residents unable to pay rent or utilities due to negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
And in a related action Tuesday, the Lake County Board authorized $12.2 million in carry-over federal CARES Act relief funding for a variety of other uses, including assistance to food pantries and staffing for the county health department s COVID vaccine call center.
The new funding is from the Federal Emergency Rental Assistance Program.
Ninety percent of the money must be used for direct financial assistance for rent and other housing-related expenses. The rest is for case management or other services to keep households stable, as well as administrative costs.
