I kinda think that once they get September done , the October and November will get temp card to give them some time to see what all will be coming in with the Opioid deal. I doubt it makes that many more apps , they will be 90 days and done.

Yes eventually they'll need to check if provisional access has been denied

In both cases -- provisional access and temporary access for opioid applicants -- there's really nothing for IDPH to "deny." The only question under the new law is whether the prospective patient has submitted a complete, conforming application (an application that includes all the required items). Regardless of whether IDPH goes on to approve or deny that application following a full review, provisional access/temporary access should only require that the applicant has submitted a complete application (even if that application is fated to be denied down the road).

(Indeed, it's not even clear there is a "approve/deny" process in the case of the opioid program since the new law doesn't really mention an approval by IDPH or even an ability to override a doctor's recommendation. Unlike the original program -- which requires, at a minimum, that IDPH validate the existence of the patient's qualifying condition -- the opioid program appears to merely require any doctor to have complete the form saying that the patient is a potential opioid prescription candidate. Since opioid patients don't get a mmj card, there's nothing for IDPH to do with such applicants other than put them in the system once a completed application is received.)

I agree that much will be revealed when the rules are published (hopefully by the 12/1 deadline) and we're all doing a lot of guessing about the new system now. But it passes the time, which since I'm a 9/14 applicant expecting his card any day, is nice.

Hello everyone,

I am in Chicago and my dispensary is THC, what is your opinion on them and I heard they are the largest in the state. Also has anyone from 20-29th been processed yet (approved)

Not yet! I called yesterday and asked about mind, 9/20, and they said no but we’re close. I’ll try again Friday or Monday but I would think with someone from 9/12 getting their card, I should be approved ASAP!

Patient address, qualifying condition and Dr is legit is about it. And I think if the Dr entered online isn't legit you can't submit so that's only comparing to the signature on the Dr form.
I think most of the present denials were because people weren't following up with requests for missing/bad information. It's not like El Chapo, or anyone else is trying to get access to $60 8ths to turn for a profit.

That they're still taking this long without background checks is ridiculous (and my basis for worrying they're going to try drag it out as long as possible).
