That sounds right. The law says 2.5 ounces per two weeks, and 28 grams in an ounce, so that's 70 grams. BTW, I heard that it's a rolling total. In other words, it doesn't reset to zero every two weeks. You just can't have more than 2.5 ounces within the previous two week period. So basically it...

I haven't seen any sort of 'standards & practices' posted anywhere, but it looks like 100mg of THC in concentrates is usually measured as 1 gram of dry weed when calculating your limit. So one gram of concentrate = 10 grams of dry weed. I don't know if this is the same everywhere, but at my...

The tricky part about edibles is that everyone processes them differently, and you really have to experiment on yourself a bit to find the dose that works for you. What you describe is exactly what applies to you, but you can't automatically apply your experience to anyone else. The OP may...

There's a lot of info on the printer issue earlier in this thread if you go back about 2 to 3 weeks. But basically, IL contracts an out-of-state printer to make the cards, and that printer has been unable to deliver for the last month or so. So or the last few weeks IL has started sending out...

I have lots of experience with both home made and store-bought edibles, and know that 25mg is my standard dose for edibles. So if I understand your explanations correctly ThunderCat and JointMonster, you're saying that I'd get 40 doses out of 1000mg / 1 gram of RSO, which is $55 at my...

Ok, it's starting to look like the reason there's no easy answer is that maybe there's no equivalence between the THC content in RSO vs. typical edibles. In other words, the bioavailability of the THC in typical edibles is measured differently from the THC in RSO because it's processed...

The total amount of RSO is 1000mg. I'm trying to figure out how much THC is in 1000mg (aka 1 gram) of RSO.

I don't know if it's on the packaging, but it's definitely not on the listings on the dispensary website. If I understand what you're saying, 1000mg of RSO = 750 to 900mg THC? That would be great! But i don't think that's possible, is it?

Edibles are funny in that everyone reacts differently to them. Two people the same size, weight, and age can have completely different reactions to the same exact dose. You may be one of those people who, for whatever reasons, needs a much higher dose. FWIW, through trial and error, I...

I'm a new medical card holder but long-time daily cannabis user. I've tried most methods of ingesting my medicine, but never tried RSO. My dispensary has a version of RSO I'm curious about. Before I get some, a couple of questions. (I'd ask at the dispensary, but it's already become clear...

Just a comment on the notion of law vs. reality mentioned above. I don't have any insider information from someone in law enforcement, but in my experience, you don't get pulled over or have to interact with the police unless you give them probable cause. If the law says they can't pull you...

You did get provisional. What you describe - that's provisional. Provisional access means getting access before you get your card in hand, while waiting for your card.

I understand your frustration, but I have to agree with Myk63 - if you applied without having an understanding the details of doing so first, that's on you. Don't worry though. One way or the other you're going to get access soon, and all of the frustration will melt away... :)

That's the longest wait I've seen reported here. You need to call the IDPH, or if you don't have the patience to get through, send the IDPH an email. They do respond.

I've noticed this too, and it has to be because everything in the dispensary comes in factory-sealed containers. I haven't asked, but I don't think they're even permitted to open anything so you can see it or smell it. I've never been to a medical dispensary other than my own (Medmar), but I've...
