NORMAL – The cannabis dispensary in Normal is officially open for adult-use sales.

Starting Monday, Beyond/Hello Bloomington-Normal, formally known as The Green Solution, is offering recreational cannabis sales.

The dispensary is taking orders for recreational products online and over the phone for in-store pickup only. Medical patients can continue to shop in-store as well as place orders online and over-the-phone for either curbside or in-store pickup.

The state approved a recreational license for the site in March, but sales were delayed due to COVID-19.

Earlier this month, Jushi Inc. announced that its two acquired Illinois dispensaries successfully transitioned to the company’s Beyond/Hello brand.

More information about the Normal location is available here.

Workers’ Memorial Day – Remember those whose job took their life

Looking around our community, when we say employer, most will respond to State Farm, Country, or Illinois State University.   We too often forget those who are building our roads, serving our food, or our public employees. COVID-19 has made us more aware of the risk.  Going to work every day for some people means…
