    Look at the exorbitant tax rates that Illinois charges compared to Missouri not to mention the limited qantities you can purchase in Illinois as an out of state buyer. It’s simple math. I’d drive to Missouri before Illinois even it was an hour more to get there. I remember my tax being in the 30% range the last time I purchased in Illinois. I had no idea before I got there. That’s utterly ridiculous! Michigan is also way better place to buy for tax and quantity purchases as an out of state buyer. Never again Illinois!
