So whats next?

So you see a recommending physician and get the necessary recommendation for a
MM Card. The AZ Dept. of Health says there will be a fairly quick evaluation and turnaround on issuing MMC's, supposedly around 10 working days. Once you get the card then what?

Dispensaries apparently will not be open and available for transactions for some time, so what does the patient do for medicine for the time being, aside from learning how to cultivate their own?

From what I've learned from friends who live in CA., finding the right type of MM for your specific illness is extremely important, and the typical dispensary will have plenty of options.
