Agreed. My mailed in app from the end of October was finally approved (told that when I called) on 1/28 but yet I don’t get provisional access and get to wait for the printer. That and when I just registered to see if the provisional access link would work for me they had a letter in my email wrong. Hopefully that doesn’t make anything longer for me.
ur guna get the paper card in the mail within 21 days..i applied oct 19th and still haven't got mine but i am pretty sure its in the mail and will be here tomorrow..they still arent printing cards

My shop is 4 miles from my door, and has some decent prices. Ounces of popcorn flower for under 275. Nice selection of Indica Doms too, I'm happy.

But can't wait to see what else the state has to offer. There is a few shops around my home town so I'm looking forward to visiting those shops when I visit home, that is whenever my card comes lol

I moved to Michigan a couple years ago to become a paitent. I loved their prices, and the ability to grow. But up there most shops let people touch and smell the nugs, and very few shops actually tested their product. Everything at my local shop now is tested, of course that drives the price up but I'm willing to pay for those test.

A representative told me there are over 20,000 application they have to do. I swear I thought it was like right over 3,000. At least patients are applying for their medication. Still sucks for all the people that mailed their applications in and have to wait 90+ days to get their cards. Really sad. Didn’t they legalize medical cannibis like 3 years ago ? How long did it take to get a card back then ??? Craziness. Makes me wonder how many applications they are able to complete in a day.

Does anyone know what the status under the 'Verify a Registry Identification Card' link means? When I go to that page and enter the QP# that was on my PA letter, the status states "Inactive". Does this mean that I am not able to go to my assigned dispensary or does it just mean that I have not registered with my assigned dispensary since I just received the PA letter last night?
 
I’ve been following this thread for a few weeks now. Applied via mail (ugh) 12/20. A bit disheartened to see provisional rolling out but happy for the progress.

My medical documents are all less than 90 days old and the state hasn’t cashed my check. Wish I could get the go ahead to just put a stop payment on my check and reapply online but haven’t even attempted to call the state. Anyone have any info?

Thought about stopping in the dispensary on my way home from infusion but with provisional backdating already I'm guessing it's going to be a madhouse.

The state came in around Feb of 18 and shut down about 40 shops. That place included.

That place was all around super illegal, as anyone could come sell there. Technically you can't sell without a caregiver card, even then you have to submit info to the state which no one there did. Loved the prices though, and met some great growers I still speak with today.

But as for the rest, Most were out of zone (too close to school or church etc), others were not utilizing the seed to sale system (tracking of seeds to flower purchased) and the rest were operating in the grey market, they had submitted applications and we're open before approval.

It was crazy that month, you never knew who would be open as they were raiding shops all month long.

They ended up moving all the shops to one neighborhood on the edge of town, it went from 50+ shops to like 10 lol.
