With cannabis legalization, Illinois is trying to undo harm from the war on drugs in ways no other state has. One goal is to widen the pool of owners. Another involves clearing criminal records. But what does "social equity" look like in practice? Crain’s reporter John Pletz talks about the business, economic and emotional issues around sharing the wealth on weed. Plus: Chicago's City Council approves Lightfoot's first budget, New York's City Council targets Grubhub over laws protecting restaurants, a cloud storage company will lease a West Loop office and area home price growth shrinks to its lowest since the economic recovery began.
