I've been saying posts ago. Why not just grow under 5 plants as it is considered a misdemeanor. Literally just a slap on the wrist. Lol waiting 3 months for a card lol. Could be harvesting your crop by the time your card comes in the mail

Hey Y'all.

App submitted via snail mail from clinic through whom I also paid: 12/7/17

Date apllication received by IDPH per my follow-up email: 12/14/17

Have heard nothing further. Today is 62 days post-receipt date.
90 days from receipt date: 3/14/18
90 days from mailing date: 3/7/18

Am really hoping i dont get disapproved after all this time...no felony and no cdl so thats all good, but I had the doc at the clinic diagnose me w PTSD and have met with him twice so far, and I'm hoping thatll be deemed sufficient for both the debilitating condition and physician care requirements, would love to hear from others in similar position.

Its driving me a bit crazy waiting and Im hoping the holidays dont cause delay and that we keep seeing cards arrive before the 90 day mark...looking forward to March 7 has been in my head for a long time. Would love to hear from other fretting countdowners or those who recently got cards with their wait time stats.

Any 12/14 receipt date twins with me here? anyone else real close to that date anyway?

Will let yall know as soon as I hear anything more...here's to hope for us all getting the "kind" treatment we're seeking. I'm gonna load up on indica and sleep without nightmares. Im gonna relax with a hybrid at the end of the day and be a better dad w/out flashbacks and agitation distracting me. I'm going to retire from my psychic struggle and be the smiling person I was supposed to be...here's to the future.

Let's go Illinois...by the river gently flowing...

I'm right there with you... 12/12 submission date for me. My diagnosis is also PTSD but my doctor has been my doctor for years. Hopefully multiple visits will be sufficient for you. Word is that they're not really denying anyone with a legit diagnosis unless you've had a drug felony or your paperwork is not in order.

If I hear anything I will certainly keep you posted. My situation is laid out above... I am also going a lil crazy waiting to be legal. I either have to chug horrible pills or go out and risk it the old fashioned way until then. Neither of which I enjoy.

thanks for the good news 420man! sounds like the printing relay was quicker that advertised and like you got carded in under 90, which is a phrase that should maybe go on some kind of a tshirt.

Nice! Happy for you man!
My app was received 11/27 and Dr certification 11/29. Today (Fri) is day 82 from when they received my app, so I'm looking at next week I hope. I know they are closed Monday (19th) for President's Day.

Congrats again brother! WOOHOO!

Hi guys! Here’s my timeline.

Applied with IEC 12/7
App received 12/14

I haven’t heard anything yet, no approval or denial. I’m guessing I have about 2-3 weeks left til my card comes. I feel like this is taking way longer than it needs to. It would also be nice to hear some kind of update after two months. Did anybody else get an update that applied in December?

WOOHOO! I actually got someone on the phone today and was told I'm approved and the card was sent to the printers 2 days ago, which was day 80 from when application was received by DPH.

Damn that makes me happy. Not as much as having my card in hand.

Hang in there peeps!

We're application twins...I feel march 7 is our lucky day, 19 days til that! I think the best way to monitor what application dates are up is this thread right here and hope people keep updating...seems like we're closing in towards them starting on december apps any day now.

Did you submit it that day, or was it received by IDPH that day?

That is interesting, I went to my doctor on 11/30. They told me they submitted my application same day. On 12/4 received confirmation that the electronic payment was processed.
Haven’t heard any updates but based on what people were saying on here I thought being patient would be the way to go. A couple days ago, curiosity got the best of me so I emailed to check for a status. I got a reply the next day requesting DOB and address. Literally replied back within a minute and got a follow up stating the normal spiel “that my application was received. They get processed in the order they are received. That they are unable to provide status updates due to high volume.”

I’m hoping that mine is not too far off.

Lol I'd have to find the garden catalog. That purple plant you have video on is absolutely gorgeous! I would get that for my flower garden alone. That it could be used in my herb garden for cooking and medicinals its a win win win all the way around. I am hoping the State will eventually allow card holders to be able to grow a few plants...as it would be cost savings at least until insurance helps to cover cost. One wish at a time... I will be satisfied that my card is being processed and should be done by end of March / early April and some decent pain relief is around the corner and almost within reach. ~aly
