Illinois revised timelines and guidelines

[Julian]

The fourth draft, dated Jan. 11, the day before Quinn left office, and sent by program coordinator Bob Morgan, lists 12 entities that "were issued licenses," and nine cases where "selection process is ongoing."

By the 11th, 12 entities were issued licenses..........

 

[amannamedtruth]

So wait, some folks have licenses and some don't?

 

[bigAl25]

I can't believe that chickenshit governor, Quinn, sat on the growing licensing permits and did not award them before he left office. Dear Illinois, that is pure bullshit from your former governor. What will the Repub governor now do? Speed up an already slow and overdue deal or sit on it even longer. Damnit you voted for it, why are the dip shit politicians holding this up? What assholes.

So wait, some folks have licenses and some don't?

I had mentioned earlier (Weekend of 9-11th) "actions and event's" taken/put into motion, (Week of 5th-9th) so.......I was merely pointing out and highlighting the statement.

I thought interesting.

 

[amannamedtruth]

right, i understand that all the licensing was basically in line and set up. Does that mean folks have been told they have licenses by quinn, then he left, and have been told to wait???

 

[amannamedtruth]

double.

Illinois medical marijuana licenses delayed despite application rankings

There are so many aspects involved here that so very few even remotely can begin to understand....I really haven't had as much of a problem waiting as most, and have had more interest in the various aspects addressed regularly....

The lists above are not the final, and people should remember, scoring alone is not, nor ever was the sole deciding factor, and I think there's a lot people dont know about those selected for several. (There are those applying for several who are incapable of proceeding financially)

Rauner wants a full legal review of all the apps, to make sure former govt insiders aren't being given preferential treatment. One of his campaign promises was to rid govt of insider dealings, which sounds noble but in this case is screwing over hundreds (?) of patients.
Not to mention all the applicants are screwed, they were told expect decisions by Dec, now it's looking like March. Options to lease, options to buy, experts and consultants on hold. Money money money going down the drain, and more money to lose when they actually get the licenses, unless somehow IL gets at least 5-10 thousand patients signed up this year.
Oh, this state really knows how to screw people over, don't they?

What do you guys think of this?

“Let’s talk about this medical marijuana mess that Governor Quinn created, then ran away from,” Rauner said. “Apparently he made arbitrary decisions about disqualifying people, and who could play and who could not, different from what the legislation authorized, and the law required.”

Sounds like they are focusing on why some people got disqualified.

“So we’re doing a review right now. We’re going to do it on a timely basis, and in the coming days we’ll be announcing what conclusions we’ve reached and how best to proceed in the process from here.”

 

[Bababooey]

Supposedly 18 cc and 53 disp licenses have been issued; well, the winners were notified and they have 48 hours to accept.
That was a bit quicker than i expected, thankfully...

 

[amannamedtruth]

Alright anybody taking resumes??

 

[growteam]

Alright anybody taking resumes??

lol. What do you do?

 

[Bababooey]

I'm a bootlicker and kiss ass. And i will not take less than $13 an hour, which is what our min wage should be, but only is in seattle, but screw it im demanding it anyway.

 

[amannamedtruth]

[Julian]

And that's what it's all about.....

Patients legally safe......an industry for those with a passion for it to enter in their home state......

A miraculous thing has taken place despite the complaints of many (virtually all).....

Truly amazing..... The long term potential even more so......

 

[Garlic Bud]

Hopefully the groups that were awarded permits will get things rolling quickly and the patients can get access to their meds soon.

There's a list of who got approved for licenses. I recognize none of the names, but hope they're good people.
Supposedly, so far 14000 people have started the app process, 2100 have completed some to all of the required parts, and around 1000 have so far been approved.
Again, dont know how many of those 1000 are patients vs caregivers.
But 1000, ok thats a start. Could we see another 1000 or more by the time medicine is being sold? I would hope so.

Annnd here we go to phase II...

Senate Bill 753, sponsored by state Sen. Michael Noland (D-Elgin), would make it legal for anyone over 21 to possess more than 30 grams of marijuana, and it would [permit] the production and possession" of up to five marijuana plants.
