Congratulations to everyone getting their cards and thank you to those posting updates!

I’m wondering if anyone sent in applications adding a caregiver, cards come together? I wonder if that may take additional time?
Thanks in advance! :)


My mom applied and received her card at her home today, and my husband is her caregiver and received his card at our home today as well.

I am so happy for everyone that got their card today. I just don't understand why I still do not have my card and I was 2 weeks ahead! I called today and got a snippy answer stating that they do not get any information as to when the printing company mails out the cards...so that was no help.

Application received-1/8
Check Cashed-1/16
Still waiting-4/9

I discovered that there is a very active Illinois Facebook community for Illinois medical marijuana. It is a closed group and you have to write the admin for permission to join. They approved me in 24 hours. Illinois Medical Cannabis Community. I just found it yesterday. There are a good number of posts specifically relating to waiting times. to get our cards I just saw a post from someone who said they received their card today (4/9/2018) and it was submitted on January 25, 2018. So that is good news for our wait times. They seem to be getting a little shorter. I'm hoping this is a start of a trend to bring the average waiting time down to 80 days instead of 90.

Sent snail mail 1/23
Check cleared and card issued 3/29
Sent to printer 4/2
Received 4/9 (Total 77 days or 11 weeks)
Hopefully everyone around this timeframe gets theirs soon! I wasn't expecting it to come this fast. I will say the card looks cool. Probably going to wait until I get paid to visit the shopbongsmilie

I'm in the same time frame too, I think it may have to do with when my physician mailed in their end of the paperwork.

So I applied 2/23 looks like people found out that they got approved around 70 days.Even though the site says to wait about 45 days to ask, guess I shouldn't even waste my time inquiring about it right now.

According to my calculations you should get it tomorrow my friend. You're handling it well I would be furious. The process is flawed but you must be in this recent batch.
 
Well I justgot of the phone with IDPH and it appears somewhere along the line someone transposed 2 numbers in my zip. So i need to wait 10-14 from today again. That's disheartening, though I suppose its IL, I should've expected something like this

Crankier by the minute

I had my husband fill his application out at the same time but we held off sending, we were not sure if I would be approved and he was working on getting his DL back which is still waiting on the state to send confirmation back on that. Right now I may be going in for another neck surgery if WC would give the approval. Is there a type of marijuana that helps with nerve pain?
