ok, here is timeline
applied online on 9/5 and card was charged that day.

Got card in mail earlier today 11/21.

Just got home from my first shopping trip
Got a eighth of Mag91, eighth of Corleone the kush, eighth of blueberry headband and a 5 strain 1 gram each sampler pack.

It's going to be a fun weekend!
Looks like I should get mine in 15 days then!! Should be a very green Christmas!!!

My application/check was mailed out October 9, was received by IDPH on October 11. I called the division of medical cannabis yesterday and they told me my application is in the system. Check still hasn’t been cashed, but I’ll provide an update when I next hear something.

Also, am I reading the IL statute correct in that if my application is on record in the IDPH’s system (which dispensaries should have access to), I can go to the dispensary to which I applied and the they can provide me provisional access while my application is approved?
I mailed my app and check in on 8.30.2018. It just cleared last Friday.

I don't think that has been put into play "yet" , could happen ?? I just repeated what my dispensary told me. I started my online app Sept. 10th , didn't get all of the paper work done until Oct. 4th / with C.C. payment and receipt on same day / but didn't clear C.C. company until the 7th . so we are on the same ride ! Good luck with all ! keep posting , as will I ! Happy Thanksgiving !

New here so don't give the old fart a hard time. Everything was submitted on 9/5 and debit card charged 9/10, not heard squat good or bad yet. Does anyone have any idea how long it will be before the card might be seen.

You should probably have it by this weekend based on current timelines.

So 10-14 days was 5 days, nice. Wonder if they've switched to a closer state for printing. Only Mag91 has ever made my first shopping list.
That puts me a week after when I really want it. But still earlier than the 90 days I figured when I first applied.

Although the provisional access law passed in late August, that portion of the bill is not yet in effect. The IDPH is required to publish the rules & procedures for provisional access by 12/1 (fyi, the same deadline applies to the rules & procedures for the new opioid program).

Unfortunately, that's all we know about the timing for provisional access right now. We don't know for certain that the IDPH will meet the 12/1 deadline, and we don't know how quickly the rules & procedures will actually go into effect once finalized.

We also don't know how any of this will affect those of us with already pending applications, though I assume that'll be addressed in the rules once published.

Reading this thread makes me so excited to get my card. I have chronic fibromyalgia every day. Medical marijuana will help me tremendously. I mailed my application in on nov 20th and have not received an email confirming they received it yet. Hoping they can get through these applications fast, and get the new laws in motion so I can go to the dispensary while waiting for my card in the mail.

I’m dealing with fibromyalgia as well. I should be getting my card by next week. I mailed everything on 8.30.2018. My check cleared last Friday.

I applied online 11/05/18... I believe you only get email confirmation if you apply online.

OK, I might as well add myself to the list of those "patiently" waiting. Here's my timeline so far:

Submitted online application: 11/05/18
Received email receipt and saw card was charged:11/06/18
Called to ask about provisional approval and confirmed receipt: 11/12/18

Just an FYI, I was told that provisional approval would not go into effect until "sometime after January 1, 2018". I was also told that my application probably wouldn't be processed until Later January, which is consistent with the processing times reported here. The sucky part, I was already charged when I submitted my online application.

I'll update as my story unfolds. lol
