If you only send a few workers to process a massive number of apps then you are indeed slow walking. We know the last administration literally on record tried to veto medical marijuana. This is the type of stuff they pull all the time to basically pout.For all the people saying they are slow walking the apps are probably miss informed. The fact is the state is slow in everything they do. They dont rush anything and that’s just the facts. When going to get drivers license you can see how the sloths work. They are nice but slow. It’s just how they operate. If you live in Illinois you already know this.
It would be nice to keep this thread for updates and basic questions and not all types of conversations about theoretical stuff. People come here for updates and when real dates and timelines get posted they get pushed back pages within hours.
As for the new laws they are pretty clear. But if they don’t get followed right away who will prosecute the officials? No one for something that’s still considered illegal by the feds.
This is medicin and eventually it will be recognized as such nation wide. But for now we should just be glad it’s moving forward this fast. Not acceptable by any standards for medicin but try getting medicin in Russia or Guatemala. (Both places I travel) in Russia state issues medicin and when you arrive at the pharmacy they say it’s going to be $300 more since theirs a shortage or some other bullshit excuse. Then they give fake meds... Corruption at its best!
I have worked state jobs in the past and the fact is they tend to be underfunded. I still work in the mental health field and left state funded agency work because of this issue. You are overworked and understaffed. Its the same situation for these workers.
If there is a will, then it will get done. Watch how quickly rec will get setup. There is already a bill ready to be signed that has passed the house and senate. Then it will take a year or two to get the shops setup.
We also have to remember that Illinois is a very big state. I don't really get frustrated over all of this stuff like I used to. I have accepted that I am just going to have to wait till the card comes.
