Each purchase becomes available again 14 days after that purchase, not all on one date.
Some patients have a limit above 2.5 ounces by waiver. Always read the available amount from the system rather than assuming.

Registry and applicationsIllinois Department of Public Health. Patients apply online and manage their own account.
Who runs whatThe Department of Public Health runs the patient registry. The Department of Financial and Professional Regulation licenses the dispensary. A dispensary cannot change a patient’s registration status.
Staff may explain the steps. The patient enters their own information and their own password. Never ask a patient for a password, a security answer or a one-time code.
2.5 ounces, which is 70.87 grams of flower equivalent, over a rolling 14 days. One limit covers every product type.
Each purchase becomes available again 14 days after that purchase. The whole balance does not reset on one date.
A certifying health care professional can request a waiver from the Department of Public Health for a limit above 2.5 ounces. The dispensary cannot raise it.
There is no patient-facing portal showing the balance. Patients have to ask at the counter.
The shelf price is identical. The difference is tax, not a discount and not a promotion.
| Adult use | Medical, within the allotment | |
|---|---|---|
| Cannabis purchaser excise tax | 10, 20 or 25 per cent by potency and form | Not charged |
| Sales tax | General merchandise rate | Reduced qualifying drug rate |
| City and county cannabis taxes | Charged | Not charged |
| Shelf price | Same | Same |
Potency does not change what a patient pays. The 10, 20 and 25 per cent tiers are the adult use excise tax. A patient pays the same rate on a high-THC concentrate as on a low-dose edible.
The saving is largest on high-potency product, because that is where the 25 per cent tier sits on the adult use side. That is the opposite of how the allotment treats the same product, where concentrate is the most expensive thing to buy.
If asked for an exact rate, give the rate for this store or point at the receipt. Rates vary by address.
Do not say a product will treat a condition, and do not recommend a product for a condition. Describe what is in a product and what people come back for. Send clinical questions to the patient’s certifying provider.
Do not speculate about why a registration is not reading as active. Point the patient to the programme phone line.
