About

How Illinois's program developed

ElmhurstCannabis.Clinic is an independent scheduling and information service for Elmhurst patients and caregivers.

2013

Illinois passes the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act, creating the medical program and designated caregivers.

2018

The Alternative to Opioids Act creates the Opioid Alternative Patient Program for adults 21+.

2020

Adult-use sales begin for those 21 and older, and towns like Elmhurst choose whether to allow cannabis businesses.

2026

Federal authorities move state-licensed medical cannabis to Schedule III; adult-use cannabis remains in Schedule I.

What we do

We run a scheduling calendar for certification visits with Illinois-licensed health care professionals, and explain the program in plain language — including how caregivers fit in. We're not a medical practice, a dispensary, or a government office.

We have no affiliation with the State of Illinois, the City of Elmhurst, or any dispensary named on this site.

How we're funded

Participating health care professionals and telehealth partners pay for advertising and patient-connection services, as explained in our Advertising Disclosure. That has no effect on clinical decisions. Telehealth visits use HIPAA-compliant platforms, and we don't store medical records or payment information.

Official rules come from the Illinois Department of Public Health. To contact us, use the form on our Terms & Policies page.

Care for them. We'll help with the paperwork questions.
