Wishing everyone the best for the start of this upcoming week. I know we're all checking our mailboxes (IM)patiently. But it takes a lot for us to get by day by day so I want to send you the best this week. I hope it's not so rough and that you have some good days.

My check was cashed on April 18th also I finally got through to doh and she said my app was approved on the 24th and my card was mailed on the 30th of April and it takes 10 to 14 business days to receive the card so the wait is almost over

What address did you use to email them? I see a few on the website but don’t know who to write to ask about my app. I know I’m getting close...I want to find out how close if possible. Day 66 for me at the moment.

I've emailed them at this address

DPH.medicalcannabis@illinois.gov

Make sure to include your date of birth and your mailing address.

I emailed them around day 45 and they weren't very helpful. But I've heard others have received very helpful responses. Maybe you'll have better luck since your app should be further along than mine.

Bpibb23, Dadiomac and anyone else from early March, since we are all trying to get a baseline for processing thought I would chime in:
As stated previously, application sent on Feb. 10th.
Called in Mid March with a dispensary question and was told my app wasn't recieved until March 5th. A few days later called again to make sure they had everything and if the info given was accurate. They wouldn't give me any date of receipt etc. Only told me I was in the system.
Emailed May 2nd for an update only received the automated response.
Hoping any of you around the beginning of March time frame can provide your status and whether or not you have received any updates so we can all try to extrapolate from there. Be well and thanks in advance!

Somewhere between March 7 and March 22 my application was complete even though I submitted mid/late Feb.

Does this mean that the state officially received your complete application on March 22nd? I submitted mine on March 20th and I'm wondering if you and I are on the same timeline.
