CHAMPAIGN — The medical cannabis dispensary set to open soon in Champaign will be managed by a well-known Illinois marijuana reform lobbyist with plans to spread the word about what this shop has to offer.
Dan Linn, executive director of the Illinois chapter of NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) has been hired as general manager for Phoenix Botanicals, the cannabis dispensary to be operated by Phoenix Farms at 1704 S. Neil St., Suite C.
Linn, 33, has led NORML, a nonprofit lobbying organization that works to legalize marijuana, since 2006.
Step one to raise awareness about medical cannabis and Phoenix Botanicals will be a free public forum from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday at the Champaign Public Library, 200 W. Green St., he said.
The gathering is intended to answer questions about the dispensary, let the public and patients know to expect and offer more information on medical cannabis, the history of the program and how to enroll.
