“Pillar of Law Challenges Illinois Cannabis Campaign Contribution Ban”

Release:

The Pillar of Law Institute filed a lawsuit today in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois arguing that Illinois law censors speech. The law, enacted as part of the state’s medical marijuana pilot program in 2014, prohibits cannabis cultivation centers and dispensaries from making political contributions to candidates for state office. The suit is brought on behalf of Claire Ball, a Libertarian candidate who is running for the office of comptroller in the 2016 election and is prohibited under the law from accepting contributions from medical marijuana organizations. Scott Schluter, a Libertarian candidate who is running for state representative, joins her in this suit.
