Medical Marijuana Store
Coming to Mundelein


On July 14th, Mundelein Village trustees voted to make it easy for medical marijuana businesses to open in town. Unlike every other Lake County city, all trustees, except one, rejected the recommendation of the Zoning and Planning Board, and voted that any new marijuana business does not require a public hearing.


An attorney representing a Roselle company, who would like to open a store, praised the Village’s decision NOT to hold public hearings. Matter of fact, one trustee said a medical marijuana store is no different than a CVS or Walgreens coming to town.


It is our belief that a medical marijuana business is very different than a CVS or Walgreens. This issue is relevant to residents in our community. The Village has an obligation to actively promote, host and be receptive to public comment.


Please sign this petition to demand a public hearing. So we all can learn more about where, when, and how the Village plans to support medical marijuana sales in town.


Thank You!

Medical Marijuana Tienda
Venir a Mundelein


El 14 de julio, síndicos Mundelein Village votaron para hacer más fácil para las empresas de marihuana medicinal para abrir en la ciudad. A diferencia de cualquier otra ciudad del Condado de Lake, todos síndicos (excepto uno), rechazó la recomendación de la Junta de Zonificación y Planificación, y votaron que cualquier nuevo negocio de la marihuana no requiere una audiencia pública.


El abogado que representa a una empresa que quiere abrir una nuevo tienda, elogió la decisión de no llevar a cabo audiencias públicas. De hecho, uno síndico dijo estas tiendas no son diferentes de Walgreens o CVS.


Es nuestra creencia de que un negocio de la marihuana medicinal es muy diferente de un CVS o Walgreens. Uno de los sitios propuestos es menos de dos millas de aquí, en Campus Dr. y Butterfield Rd.


Por favor firmen esta petición para exigir una audiencia pública. Así que todos podemos aprender más sobre dónde, cuándo y cómo el pueblo tiene previsto apoyar las ventas de marihuana medicinal en la ciudad. Gracias.

The momentum behind this petition highlights a clear community desire for transparency regarding local zoning decisions. I am pleased to see residents engaging with this issue to ensure that the village board remains accountable to our concerns.

This is a total joke. Residents deserve to know what is going in our neighborhood. Quit hiding behind closed doors and let us have a say.
