Cannabis amnesty boxes at O'Hare and Midway airports have rarely been used since marijuana was legalized in Illinois in 2020.
CHICAGO -- Millions of passengers have flown out of Chicago since weed was fully legalized in Illinois, but only a few dozen have pitched their pot in the"cannabis amnesty boxes" set up at the city's two major airports.
That job, which is actually handled by the Chicago Police Department, hasn't been very demanding, though. Only 34 collections have been made from January 2020 through March 20, including 22 at O'Hare and 12 at Midway, according to logs obtained through an open records request. In many instances, multiple items - including bags and packages - were pulled from a box at once, the records show. The recovered items were destroyed 14 times, but were marked simply as"received" in most cases.
Although the boxes haven't seen much action, one at Midway was the scene of a cannabis caper just 22 days after the drug was legalized.
