Brett Roeper asks a question Wednesday, Aug. 20, 2014, in Chicago during the last of three town hall meetings that gave patients, caregivers and aspiring business owners a chance to inquire about the application process for Illinois' medical marijuana program. Roeper wanted to know about whether dispensaries will be able to open medical marijuana packaging to let customers see and smell the product. A standing-room-only crowd of more than 500 attended the meeting. (AP Photo/Carla K. Johnson)

In this photo taken on Aug. 13, 2014, Kenneth Bouch, center, and Ben Kovler, right, of Green Thumb Industries, an Illinois-based partnership of medical marijuana entrepreneurs, review security plans for a proposed medical marijuana facility with security adviser Terry Gainer during a meeting in Chicago. Medical marijuana in Illinois will be encased in vaults, monitored by security guards and protected by fingerprint-recognition biometrics. That's the picture painted by business owners who are competing for a limited number of marijuana cultivation and dispensary permits under the state's new law. A detailed security plan will give an edge in the scoring, so many of the applicants say they're exceeding the Illinois law's already-strict requirements.(AP Photo/M. Spencer Green)

In this July 3, 2014 photo, Michael Mayes, CEO of Chicago-based Quantum 9 Inc., a medical cannabis consulting company, poses for a photo in his Chicago office. The prospect of adding jobs, even as few as 30, has led officials in many shrinking Illinois' communities to set aside any qualms about the state's legalization of medical marijuana and to get friendly with would-be growers. Quantum 9 has helped win permits for marijuana producers in four other states. (AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh)
