A local city can now legally sell recreational adult use cannabis.
Effingham's city council approved an ordinance Tuesday night by a vote of 4 to 1 allowing recreational cannabis sales within city limits.
Mayor Mike Shutzbach agreed to the ordinance after originally opposing it.
The date sales start was not confirmed, though The Clinic, a local medical dispensary, was granted permission to begin recreational sales.
The vote went on despite a few community members showing their opposition to the legislation.
