I've been following this thread since 10/5/18, and this is new information to me. It has always appeared to me that the state does not discuss any part of the process or how their office works or how the workflow is handled. How do you know they have people who do nothing but take phone calls...

I haven't switched dispensaries (and probably won't - the selection at MedMar is the biggest I've seen), but in earlier posts a few people have said switching takes about 24 hours. Just a guess: going through the dispensary to make the switch may be a little faster, since they want your...

Based on earlier posts on this subject, it looks like the way the process works is that you are assigned a QP # when your application is received, but there is some time between then and when it is finally approved and the card gets printed and mailed. So I think you can have a QP # on day one...

I understand your point, but every snail mail application does have to be entered into the same system as online apps anyway, and we don't know at what point in the process that happens. I don't recall reading here about any delay in snail-mail applications vs. online, except with regards to...

The way the law is written, it does look like provisional access would apply only to those who applied online. Of course this is stupid. But because the state hasn't followed the letter of this law in SO many other instances, I actually think there's a pretty good chance they'll do the same...

I just received my card a couple of weeks ago. What would you like to know? FWIW, if one of your questions is, "Do you need to be an Illinois resident?", the answer is yes.

It took around 5 minutes to do this the first time I visited my dispensary.

I can't answer that. But my experience was two visits to the Dr. at The Healing Clinic (both in the same week), in between which I got the required medical records to them. That was it. If there is any follow up requirement, they didn't make that clear to me. So your experience sounds like it...

The state hasn't been following several other crucial stipulations in the law either, and since there's no penalty attached, 'breaking the law' doesn't appear to be worrisome or problematic for them.

Applied online (via The Healing Clinic in Chicago) on 10/5. Received card Monday, 1/7. 95 days.

It seems like the state is really holding the line on their made-up 90 day wait period. It looked like things were trending slightly faster last month with a few people reporting wait times slightly under 90 days, like 87 or 88. Now the pendulum is swinging in the other direction and wait times...

Good news at the link below! The story includes a reference to this forum. Thanks Tom Schuba! https://chicago.suntimes.com/business/kevin-debbie-keating-changes-to-medical-pot-program-aim-to-eliminate-months-long-wait-period/

You need to call the IDPH and find out if there's a problem.

I think one of the reasons medical cartridges cost about double a 'traditional' vape cartridge is that, at my dispensary anyway, they seem to mainly sell Live Liquid Resin cartridges, which are different from the typical cartridges. I'd recommend doing a Google search for "live liquid resin...

This is exactly why I decided to finally go with a medical card, and give up on street weed. Now I know exactly what I'm getting every single time.

Yes, the law says you should be able to do this, but the state hasn't been following the letter of the law. Many people have already called and asked, and the answer is no, you can't do this until the state implements provisional access. It appears now that they're looking at Feb. 1 for that...

mlpntr, the information on the website is not at all new or recent - it's been the law since Aug. The only difference is the "estimated early 2019", which has been the speculation around here for a couple of months.

I'm brand new to cartridge style vape pens starting just this week when I got my card. And now that I've tried them, I'm thinking that's really the way to go for convenience and stealth. I went to my dispensary a couple of days ago and was talking about various options, and the guy recommended...

Looks like pretty soon this long thread will be obsolete, with provisional access kicking in. That's good for everyone! But a little bittersweet. There's a real feeling of community here, as we all share a common cause, and pull each other forward. Thanks to all who've helped!

That's the way the law reads. So that means "maybe".
