Naperville banned all recreational cannabis businesses in 2019 by a 13-1 council vote, opting out under the state Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act. Only the existing medical dispensary (3C Compassionate Care) may operate for medical sales only.
In 2019, Naperville City Council voted 13-1 to ban all recreational cannabis business operations within city limits, using the opt-out provision in the Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act (410 ILCS 705). This ban covers dispensaries, cultivation centers, craft growers, infusers, and transporters. The only cannabis operation permitted is the pre-existing 3C Compassionate Care Center medical dispensary on Quincy Avenue, which may continue medical cannabis sales but cannot sell recreationally. The ban was among the earliest municipal opt-outs in Illinois. Title 6 (Zoning Regulations) and Title 10 (Property and Related Ordinances) contain the implementing provisions. No cannabis-related businesses may operate in any zoning district for recreational purposes.
