It is a lot of Trial and Error, so I Have never gotten the same thing twice in 10 months of visits. And it is not a Magic Pill, so give it time and try Many Versions. It is not even as powerful as an Opiate, so keep in mind it can not cure every symptom all at once.

I'm not expecting a miracle cure. I know someone who was pumped up and avoiding Drs, ended up with a colectomy. Had to be ignoring some major symptoms to go from saying feels great to having your colon removed. I don't plan on avoiding modern medicine until science says it does more than symptoms.

I do think I'm seeing some benefits beyond sleep. I just need some tolerance.

You should have it by end of week, or beginning of next week, if it was sent to printers on 1-3-19. I applied 10-18-18, Jan. 7th processing.
Hoping by next week I'll have my card. Which would really be nice, bc my dude is going out of state for next 3 weeks leaving Monday. So if my card doesn't come it could be a shitty 3 weeks. Ugh. Illinois
If it wasn't for the love of family and close friends that are family I would be gone from this state. I feel that is the only thing keeping most people I'm this State, it sure isn't the great jobs and careers, or the progressive political movement.

From recent comments it seems like the state is using the 90 day window to “approve”... then add the additional days for print and mail. I hope Provisional actually comes to fruition at the end of this month; I’m on day 70 here.

looks like a lot of us are waiting for a batch to print maybe they do them twice a month of something because they don't do them everyday

Working for the state, I can tell you that Rauner had a big thing for outsourcing things, like printing of cards (and employee health insurance!). JB was quoted as saying, "Let's get this thing going!" in regard to cannabis. He was just sworn in, though, and, as we all know, things take forever to change in this ridiculous state. Perhaps he can have them printed within the state. Isn't that a crazy idea?

Day 89 and no card coming my way today (informed mail). Don't really expect it
to arrive until next week.... If I'm lucky. What really grinds my behind is that the
state took my money (via credit card) the day I applied. Understandable I guess,
but why should the state take my money 2 1/2 months before they even process
the application. I'll tell you why, the state gets all the interest on our money.
Illinois government is just so corrupt, they make me sick. Time to vote the trash
out.

Sorry for venting, but I needed a release. Don't worry folks, I won't post every day
on the status of my card. Next time you hear from me, I'll have my card.

Just got through and they received mine 10/27 and still haven’t gotten to it. I’m just waiting to see new applicants get provisional while I’m still waiting

The new bill filed in the House on Wednesday by Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) (H.B. #420), is titled the Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Act. If passed, it would remove cannabis from the federal Controlled Substances Act.

“While the bill number may be a bit tongue in cheek, the issue is very serious. Our federal marijuana laws are outdated, out of touch and have negatively impacted countless lives,” Blumenauer said in a press release. "Congress cannot continue to be out of touch with a movement that a growing majority of Americans support. It’s time to end this senseless prohibition.” Pray People and Vote!

I can not tell you how many people I have heard make The Same Exact Statement as Your Last Sentence, Including Me and My Pain Management Doctor Yesterday. He is a Great Person. I am so Incredibly Lucky I met him 15 years ago. A lot of Doctors and Nurses and Teachers Have left Illinois.

Applied online 10/15
Approved 1/2
Sent to printer 1/3
Still waiting for card

Just got off the phone with the Dept of Cannabis. I was told two weeks from time it was sent to printer. Today they clarified it would be 14 business days, so basically 3 weeks. The lady was very polite and I was on hold for about 8 minutes. So looks like mid to late next week.
