Dispensaries in Normal

Normal has 4 dispensaries licensed by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR). You must be 21 or older with a valid photo ID to buy, so most Illinois State University undergraduates cannot shop, and out-of-state visitors may purchase half the Illinois resident limit. Every Normal store also serves registered medical patients, and adult-use shoppers pay a 3% Town of Normal cannabis tax plus McLean County's 3% cannabis tax.

Normal is a college town with more dispensaries than its larger twin, Bloomington, and all 4 of its stores are registered for medical sales as well as adult use. Two of the four are Bloom Wellness locations.

Normal and Illinois Cannabis Laws: Purchase Limits, Public Use and Driving

Residents may possess up to 60 grams of flower, 10 grams of concentrate and 1,000 mg of THC in infused products; visitors 30 grams, 5 grams and 500 mg. Use is legal only in a private residence with the owner's permission, and never on the Illinois State University campus: ISU policy prohibits cannabis on university property and at university activities, even for students over 21, because federal law still bans it and the university receives federal funds. Carry purchases in a sealed, odor-proof, child-resistant container; 5 nanograms of THC per milliliter of blood within two hours of driving is a DUI. See our Illinois marijuana laws guide.

Cannabis Taxes in Normal

The Town of Normal charges a 3% cannabis tax, and McLean County adds 3% on sales inside towns and cities. State excise is separate: 10% on flower up to 35% THC, 20% on infused products and 25% above 35% THC. Normal's general sales tax rose on July 1, 2025, and Illinois Department of Revenue rate files now put the combined sales and local cannabis tax rate in Normal at 15.75%, before excise. Patients pay no excise or local cannabis tax on their medical supply.
