uggh, so frustrated. I haven't been able to get through on the phone number in DAYS!!!! I see on here where people post they have received notification that in an email, and in the post that they have been approved... I haven't received anything... so i guess that is better then a denial letter but come on already!! I am @ 70 days I just want my card!
This is low for how many times I've hit redial to try and get through.

I just want o know if they are close I called around 55-60 days and they said they were close to my day but not there yet, ok so how close now?
If you're at day 70, I'd say give it 10 days. Least that is what I'm planning to do for my own blood pressure
 
Mail application received on September 24.
Sent an email about 10 days ago, no answer.
The check has not been cashed to date.

The pain is getting worse due to cold weather. I got scammed by a fake dealer in the meanwhile. I was pretty aware of the possibility of a scam but the tiny hope of getting some relief made me wanna try. Hope the rumors that the department stopped issuing cards is not true.

I ordered CBD oil out of Colorado and have been using that, it helps alot.

Just wanted to make it clear that the only people denied are the people that tried to apply with other reasons than a qualifying condition. if you have a qualifying condition and have one of those boxes checked you will not get denied. Anyone trying to seek sympathy for any causes related too but not exactly diagnosed with a qualifying condition will NOT get approved. Anyone trying to apply to the new opioid program will NOT get approved.

Also if denied you will be notified right away (someone here from 9/20 got a denial letter) early last week or this week.

To sum this up Rheumatoid Arthritis is a qualifying condition but Gout although similar is NOT a qualifying condition. If you have gout you need to find a med friendly doc and have the form filled out as Rheumatoid Arthritis which many will fyi. I'm using Gout as an example because I have a friend that did exactly this.

I qualified easy for my back but only by a med friendly doc... My doc said they didnt studdy cannabis so they cant sign the form...

BTW took me over 300 calls to get through today. 41 last week

Hope this little bit of info helps someone.

CBD oil is available locally in many stores. No need to order from CO unless you get better prices or don't want to or can't go outside.
I only ordered it from where my dispensary advised me to until i got my card. She said that the ones in local shops aren't as safe. So I just did what was advised.

Thanks! I tried many CBD products, including the CBD flower, edibles, vaporizer, lotion, but they did not help much. Is there a specific brand that you can recommend?
marysnutritionals is where i went. I still have pain due to the weather, but i havn't had to take as much meds. I have had multiple surgeries and some damage that is irreversible. Like i said it's perfect but it is helping until the card comes in and I can get the the CBD oil that has THC content too.

So I went to the dispensary and the lady printed off my copy...She said I already possess a lincense and it’s being printed/mailed.

Sorry if you thought I was lying...
Nope, now I think she's stupid or you think we are. Or else I was approved and getting printed the day I applied. They all say that.
Do you also have a minor caregiver card? Because that's what the second line and the part you cut off says.

You all are "short timers" ….Relax !! Don't let all , that fake stuff from today bother you !
I read through all of it. IDK what to believe and what not to, But i am hoping that everything about them postponing approvals is wrong. I have a spine condition, and the cold weather and snow really is a killer

marys was o.k. , but expensive. if you buy online , always google company name for promo code , or try "10off" "15off" etc. usually hit atleast one will work ...start at 45 and go down. the otc cbd is mixed reviews . I liked marys , tried Charlotts web and a few others. pure kana cbd , has been pretty good , fast delivery...and promo codes . 1 oz and marys is 1/2 oz
