Illinois is strategically located in the middle of the country, has a major shipping and economic hub in the northern part of the state, and has migrants works and farmland in the southern part of the state.  Because is it is centrally located and is already a shipping hub of America, cannabis black and grey markets will thrive in warehouse space, house rentals, industrial spaces, and even outdoor grows in non-winter months.  The culture and history are also in alignment for a strong black market as Chicago was a bootleggers’ paradise during prohibition.
