Yes, related the frustrating experience of finally getting through after 500+ attempts in a post earlier this afternoon, a couple pages back now. In a nutshell - no joy.

OK, let's do something positive. Grass roots activism (get it? :leaf:) Find your local representatives in the Illinois House and Senate on the map here, and send them your story: https://www.illinoispolicy.org/maps/ Before sending the e-mail, add this address to the "cc:" field...

A noble effort, Concerned Citizen - I applaud you.:clap: But Rauner has expressed by his actions throughout his entire disastrous tenure in office that he is not at all interested in helping anyone who needs or wants medical cannabis. And now that he is slinking towards his final days in...

Sounds good! Which dispensary is that?

App submitted online and cc charged 10/5.

Well, it took only 500+ calls to get through to the IDPH. On my 118th call today, the phone finally rang, and I finally talked with someone. Unfortunately the person I spoke with had no good news, and didn't seem to have a lot of information or answers. He did tell me that my application is...

I'm one day behind you :) Submitted online and cc charged on 10/5.

I tried calling again today starting this morning. I've called 130 times today, and every single call goes directly to the recorded 'call back another time' outgoing message. I thought I'd be clever and try the next phone number after 1-855-636-3688, in other words, 1-855-636-3689. When there...

If they went any slower, they'd have to go back in time!

I broke down and called the IDPH number today to ask about my timeline for getting my card. Between 12:30pm and 4pm I called 215 times. Every single time except once the call went directly to VM without ringing. One time it rang once, then went to VM. This tells me there's something wrong with...

I just did a little searching through this forum for info on other states, and all I found is that I don't think any of them have threads devoted to wait times. Which suggests it's not as big a concern elewhere. I did find one post from a few years ago from someone in New Jersey complaining...

This makes me wonder - does anyone here have any experience with getting a medical card in any other state? I'm curious if the application to card-in-hand timeline is better, worse, or the same?

My application was submitted online one day after yours. I'm watching your progress reports very closely!

This is interesting. I wonder if it means that the application was just sitting waiting to be opened for 70 days and as soon as it's opened they cash the check? Then the actual processing of the app, printing and mailing the card takes three weeks? Or are they opening the mail and processing the...

To be fair, that's the way every state has worked. It looks like every state that legalized recreational has had at least a year and a half gap between the law being passed and the opening of the first dispensary. If Pritzker signed the law on day one in office (and I doubt it will happen that...

...and this is what happens when the state withholds our relief from us for too long. :cuss:

I saw this referred to in another post (maybe yours?). My dispensary did not know this, or if they did, they didn't mention it when I asked, "What do you know about how provisional access will be handled?" Has anyone confirmed this with IDPH? If the dispensaries are printing the provisional...

I posted about this a few pages back in this thread. I called my designated dispensary on 12/3, when these rules theoretically had already taken effect, and the person I spoke with had heard about the new rules and received lots of calls inquiring about them that day, BUT had not been trained or...

Mainly edibles, and mostly because the dosing will be uniform and predictable. I've made edibles for myself many times (I used to get super cheap shake from a guy), but every batch was different. Sometimes weak, other times super trippy. o_O But really for me, whether it's smokable, vapable...

Yeah, I went for the three year plan too. It certainly looks like recreational will be legal long before then, but I think a benefit for card holders will be that recreational will be taxed at a higher rate (since those tax $ are the main incentive) than medical, so I hope it all balances out...
