Recreational marijuana sales are currently banned in Naperville and a group of residents stands strongly opposed to allowing them at any point in the future, but just across Route 59 in Aurora, a weed dispensary is poised for approval.

Naperville’s mayor is neither surprised at the potential location nor worried about the close proximity to the city’s border, though opponents of weed sales in Naperville say recreational sales would be a detriment to Naperville’s brand and make the city less “family friendly.”
