Quantum 9 is a medical cannabis consulting firm. Our Illinois medical cannabis consultants help physicians, entrepreneurs, investors, and licensed operators navigate Illinois’s medical cannabis program — from licensing and regulatory compliance to patient-focused operations and M&A.

Illinois’s Medical Cannabis Program

Illinois’ medical cannabis program was established by the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Program Act (2013). Registered qualifying patients obtain medical cannabis from licensed medical cannabis dispensing organizations, supplied by licensed cultivation centers.

Regulatory Agency

The Illinois Department of Agriculture regulates cultivation centers, the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) regulates medical cannabis dispensing organizations, and the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) administers the patient registry.
