HOMEWOOD, Ill. – A 32-year-old Dolton man was charged after police found suspect cannabis and three handguns in his vehicle in Homewood. The man faces charges of being an armed habitual criminal, manufacturing or delivering cannabis over 500 grams and resisting a peace officer.
That’s a lot of marijuana for a drug dealer to be carrying when marijuana is legal virtually everywhere.

This store is in Homewood, the same town as the arrestee above. They charge $40 plus taxes probably makes this $60 or $65 for 3.5 grams, roughly an ‘eighth’. I wonder what the street price is for an eighth to make it worth buying off the street instead of walking to a dispensary during business hours. I know the taxes and regulation in CA is making the legal business difficult while the illegal market is flourishing..
Well that didn’t take long. I hope Mayor Pete is working hard to get the supply chain issues addressed on this one. King Pritzker wants to be the biggest drug dealer in the country and is counting on drug revenue to finance his agenda.
