So the way I understand it, its taking about 4 long months (1/3 of a year) for the card to come in the mail, and it costs $100 + ~$150 for doctor to get it. Then, when the year is up, I would have to re-apply, send in another $100 + $150 for doctor, and wait another 3-4 months? Wow! Government work at its best. Let's start a petition to privatize the application process. It would be more efficient and streamlined.
I'm still debating getting my card, I mean, paying that kind of money to be put on a government list of users. Recently Colorado just accidently published every grow op in the state. Feds will be ball busting everyone of them. Do you trust the government keeping your op safe? I don't. Haven't got caught yet, knock on wood, so why change. I'm very small time. Just me and my lady, 4 plants. That's it. Not really sure I want to get my card.
