By Jim Leach Photo Credit: Kyle Hutchinson / MWF-Springfield Just over a week ago, we marked the observance of 4/20 by noting that the Reefer Madness predictions of a hazy, weed-addled hellscape under legal recreational marijuana in Illinois had, to say the least, not come to past. But old, paranoid habits, it turns out, die hard. And we continue to see the clash between new 21 st Century business opportunities and old 19 th Century pot-is-bad attitudes playing out in real time. The new battleground is happening at a former Springfield movie theater, now converted into a recreational cannabis dispensary. In one respect, the new Maribis store inside the former AMC Parkway Pointe theater, is kind of a microcosm of life in 2021 — movie theaters may be on the way out, or at least they won’t be what they once were. But legal pot is here to stay.
