Quick update. They are processing applications from 9/17. I am not yet approved but my application is currently being processed. Check not cashed yet.

From what I can see it looks like online apps are being processed a little faster. I would opt for online at this point for any new applications.
This time last month/ even taken account for Holiday this month/ they were about done with August . and I believe a few less apps for September . than August. so hope they fly threw the remaining September Apps ! and no Background checks in Sept.

Yeah! Thanks for the update! That’s exciting! I’ll wait until Tuesday to call, by then they should be the 20th! So I should have my card in 2 weeks!

I did online and submitted it 9/20. No card yet. I paid via a CC, so it was processed automatically. I haven't used Cannabis in over 2 months. Its been extremely difficult, but when I submitted my card app I swore to myself that I was done dealing with drug dealers. In the end, I am glad I did because I just got a new job and they required a drug test. So I guess I got lucky? Its still ridiculous to be tested, but thats not going to change until we get it changed on the federal level... which isn't exactly that fair way. Its going to be a serious question for the 2020 candidates.

You should try calling in and see where they are at!

I think it was online, just because my card got approved and I got an email on the same day, 9/20. I think if it was mail, it wouldn’t have been charged
So we have the same day. We have to be pretty close. Probably within the next week or two you would think. The holidays do tend to slow things done due to vacations and the massive amount of packages that are shipped though. I think we get it before xmas for sure.

Yeah me too! I am going to call Tuesday, thought about today but I called once this week and don’t want to annoy them! Ha

I am thinking we should have cars in hand by 12/14

I might Monday or Tuesday. When I first did my app online, I had no idea how long the process was. So it was a bit of a shock, but I think once you get over that and accept that its going to be awhile, it gets slightly easier. I am pretty glad that I am going to have a very nice tolerance break going when I finally can get access to my medicine again. My first purchase is going to last me forever.

Haha I hear that! For me, once I stopped telling myself maybe it’ll speed up and only be 45ish days, and just accepted it’ll be 80-90, it went quicker!
