This is Cool, another step...
‘It’s time:’ Gov. Tony Evers announces proposal to reform Wisconsin’s marijuana laws.
Under the governor’s proposal, a physician or a practitioner under the direction of a physician can recommend the use of medical marijuana to alleviate symptoms related to medical conditions such as cancer, glaucoma, post-traumatic stress disorder, chronic pain, severe nausea and seizures.




The governor also wants to align Wisconsin’s laws on cannabidiol, also known as CBD oil, with federal standards. CBD oil is made from marijuana and can be used to treat seizures in children. Currently, Wisconsin law requires families to possess CBD oil only with yearly certification by a physician. The governor believes that families and individuals should be able to obtain this treatment without additional barriers.

Gov. Evers also wants to decriminalize possession, manufacturing or distribution of marijuana for amounts of 25 grams or less. This language would also prevent localities from establishing their own ordinances or penalties for possession of less than 25 grams of marijuana. The governor’s plan would also establish an expungement procedure for individuals convicted of possessing, manufacturing or distributing less than 25 grams of marijuana who have completed their sentence or probation.

How did anyone get a passport photo uploaded to the website? I went through the trouble of mailing an application ie physically going to get a passport photo taken at Walgreens, scanned copy of DL , mailed copies of my utility bills. Now i find out I can submit online and would like to but how do i get a passport photo done and uploaded online. Anywhere I go to get a passport photo simply prints them off and hands them to you...I hate illinois

So weekends aren’t business days for mail huh? A representative told me over the phone that my application was processed on the 6th then she told me to give it until the 19th for the letter to show up.

No, Sadly, The State can not afford to pay for The Food for The Hamster to Keep the Wheel Turning. Which is strange, because They TOOK All OUR Money 3 months in Advance!! View attachment 4285104
Yeah, $100 per year to approve once every 3 years, which they just admitted costs less than $10. I don't care how much the cards cost or the tracking system to switch dispensaries costs they're making a crap ton of money just off the patients. That's not including the outrageous licensing fees for growers and dispensaries.
In true IL fashion, someone's skimming off the program that was supposed to be self-supporting but not profitable for the state.

Scan the picture just like you did the driver's license. Scan the bills just like the DL.
Your dispensary will likely help apply if you don't have a scanner.

I think they just say stuff to blow callers off and keep them from calling again.
The mail travels on weekends and Saturday is a delivery day. Business days have nothing to do with mail time. And only ground only shipments across the country can take 14 days unless it gets lost (at which time USPS blows you off with claims to wait until it turns up without them having to actually look for their screw up).

Haven't tried any of those. Anything helps me sleep, start in the evening, Indica before bed. If I can only do right before bed there are some varieties that I won't fall asleep with right away.
It may just be me because I'm picky about what I can use without it causing anxiety or headaches but I wouldn't buy an ounce without trying a smaller amount first.

Good Point about trying before buying a bunch.. They also have slight discounts if you mix and match different 1/8ths, but then I am back at $ 300 or $320 again like the Expensive Lake County Dispensaries. I want to Have an ounce because I need that to get through 30 days. $250 is My Absolute Max Budget, and that does not get me a Month's worth of Concentrates, I've tried. Once it is Legal, I hope the price comes down so I can really try to feel better with things besides straight Cannabis.

Yea I agree they don’t always give you all of your information when you call them. And one representative will say one thing and another representative will say another

Fuck, you did it to me..... I went 120 days without making an account.
I just wanted to say anything i have gotten from cresco has been great when i first opened but their jars suck, they allow the nugs to dry out very quickly. I would suggest anything from them go into a different jar. Loved their pre-rolls thoe.
Now Rev... Revolution has blown my mind every time, their dragons tears is another level ,even thoe it takes 7 grams from our limit, in fact their butters, shatter , and melt are all the best ive had. Loved them so much i went and bought a Dr.Dabber so dabbing is way easier now.Their containers have a handy little pop out push handle that keep the nugs perfect.
Aeriz has been great too their GG#4 knocked me on my ass.
As far as prices..... Illinois sucks balls i think it will take some time....

$250/oz for Cresco is a great price especially with some of those %s.
We're obviously in very different leagues, I'm kind of thinking I could get by with a gram or 2 of flower a month not including 1:1. I thought I'd get some tolerance but that's not happening as fast as I expected.

If you dry vape I've heard shake works, but I haven't tried it yet. And with my low tolerance I'd only be able to try it with 1:1 right now.

I would STRONGLY Suggest NOT buying the 1/2 Oz or Full Oz of Pure Shake, even though you can get it for $100 and $200. I tried it in The Evolve Dry Herb Pen, it is no where near as good as if you buy the Popcorn Buds and strain it yourself. Part of The Reason I use a gram a Day is I no Longer can Work, so I like many other Disabled People in Chronic Pain, have so much free time, and it is mostly spent in pain. A Gram of Shatter or The Vape pipes would get me 4- 5 Days, and I like them. But that is $10-$12 a day. The Buds in The $250 Oz will be about 2/3rds to 75% of That. The $50 to $75 a month savings might not sound like much to people on here, but it allows me to Have Money For Gas and My Prescriptions.

Great Post, Thanks for the Info! I was SOOOOO Close to Getting the GG4. PDI just started carrying Aeriz last Month. MyCaretaker advises many Cresco Sauces, Sugars and Waxes and all very Good, Sour or Chunky Diesel, Also Revolution Razzmatazz. So does 1 gram of Concentrate ALWAYS COUNT AS 7 UNITS OR GRAMS?? Can not figure what does and does not count as a Gram.

Here is Part of what is Wrong with This Country. I and others in Pain are willing to Pay for My Cannabis at $250 to $450 on average, even though it leaves us Broke.Because it is Federally Banned, We pay a lot more for it. But, My Insurance Company Just Lowered the Price of My Opioids from $47 to only $19 a MONTH! So Messed Up. Like Big Pharma Saying, "Here, we will almost give this away, just please keep taking it and stay away from Cannabis."

But how do i get it onto the computer... I can scan a copy of my passport photo and DL all day long but bow do i get it onto a CPU. The scanner at fed ex just prints physical copies. Walgreens, cvs or any of those will not provide a digital copy of my passport photo. I just want a digital copy of it in PDF form or whatever the fuck it is.

Can someome explain how they did this?
