Lake County Cannabis Club

Antioch, IL

The Lake County Cannabis Club (L3C) is a discreet group of Recreational Cannabis Enthusiasts, Medical Marijuana Patients, Cannabis-Industry Entrepreneurs, and Community Members interested in celebrating and promoting the many benefits of Cannabis and Hemp products.

We are looking for like-minded people in Lake County to share ideas, fun, and laughs in the New Age of Cannabis and COVID-19. We want to build new friendships while also networking ourselves in-support of our current & future Lake County Cannabis businesses. We also want to give-back to our communities through volunteer work and charitable events.

Let’s get creative! Our gatherings and events must be both legal and safe for our members. Since public consumption of Cannabis is still illegal in Illinois (whether you are indoors or outdoors), we will need to keep that in-mind as we plan events in 2021 and beyond. We will also want to adhere to all CDC recommended restrictions for COVID-19…which won’t be easy.

**If you own a private property in Lake County where our club members can meet discretely, we are always seeking generous Hosts for our events.**
