Illinois medical marijuana card wait time

I dont want to call cause known my luck they would put mine at the bottom of the pile.... Fingerprints were filled electronically but paperwork photos and check I dropped off at my post office on 3/15..... how about you?
I compiled everything I needed into a USPS priority envelope with a money order and mailed it 3/15 and they received it 3/19

Hey everyone, hope you all get your cards soon! I sent everything on March 8th, haven't heard anything since. It sounds like it might be taking less than 90 days now? Thoughts?

Well, I filed on 4/6, and the update I received from the local clinic was a 90-110 day wait now. I'm looking at mid July or around there before I hear anything.

I sent mine in 2/15 and it was accepted 2/26 and still haven’t heard anything.

Based on what I have recently read wait time is trending towards 75 days. I hope this continues to improve!

Hi all. I've been lurking on this thread for a while now. Happy to finally hear from some people who sent their application in March.

Here's my timeline:
Innovative express care 1st visit - March 20th
Application sent & payment approved on March 27th

I'm hoping that I might get lucky and receive it by the end of May/early June. Do you guys think that's possible?

So, I tried inquiring about my app. status via email and I got an automated reply saying that they cannot respond to inquiries about application statuses due to a high processing volume. Is this recent because I've seen posts of people getting a response back. I tried calling the number on the site as well, but that is automated too.

Submitted 2/23

I got the same automated reply when I made my email inquiry... then a few hours later got another reply from a IDPH rep requesting my DOB and other info to ID me... and a prompt reply about my application being received.

Ah ok, I'll just be patient as usual and wait and see what happens. Thanks.

There is honestly something wrong with this state... WHY OH WHY does it take soooooo long???? I can go to my doctor tomorrow and have Xanax, Ambien, Anti Depressants the same day,,,,, The wait should not take 76 days when we pay soooooo much money for this... This is bogus

The way it's going right now expect 70 to 75 days.... hopefully they will improve to 55-60 days by mid May. My ap was received April 13th. I'm waiting... impatiently!

I just figured it out. We’re all still 9 years old and we’re waiting for Christmas...ie: our cards. I love this thread. It’s making the wait a little easier.

So here is my update while I was at work and was miserable due the crappy weather and pain my husband called to tell me my card came in. I was just closing my store and almost set off the alarm. Here are the dates.
Applied electronically + deducted the fee: 2/7(day 1)
Date on letter w/card attached: 4/13 (day 66)
Received in mail: 4/23(day 76)
Tomorrow after the torture session at Physical Therapy I will go to my dispensary to start getting some relief.

Good luck and I hope this time line helps :grin: I will have a very enjoyable Birthday this Sunday I wasn't expecting this
