Just got it done, few questions

[Pallando]

Finally took the time/money to go get my license, it went so much faster then I thought it would! Relaxed Clarity in Broomfield is a very cool place. Mailed the paperwork in a few days ago.

How long is it going to take to get the actual card?

Why do dispensaries have me sign them up as my "temporary caregiver" when I enter?

What do I do if I lose my copy of the paperwork?

It'll probably take at least 4 months from the day you mailed it in so make sure that you keep your copies on you as well as the proof of mailing IE certified mail reciept or check stub or or money order copy.

they have you sign up as that just so that we can provide care for you while you are on the premise just during that time and that time only. also your 6 plants even at that point are still registered to your "registered primary caregiver" and in order to change that you have to fill out this form on this page Colorado: Department of Public Health and Environment, Colorado Medical Marijuana Registry and notarize and send into the state with both forms of ID so dont worry about losing your plants on dispensaries agreements just be wary of that one form because thats the only accepted form to change it

if youve already been to a dispensary then they should be able to give you a copy of your paperwork as long as you prove your you. if not there then check with the doctors office because they should have taken copies of all of that as well

good luck with your experiences brother

My husband recieved his card the day after Christmas and it was mailed Sept 14. My paperwork was recieved on Nov 2 and I am still waiting.

Last time I checked the website it was taking 4-5 months. The good news is that the longer it takes them to process the longer it will be before you will have to renew. The date on my husband's card was 12/22.

I recommend you make several copies of all your paperwork if you fear losing it. Last thing anyone needs is legal problems that might be avoided if important documents are easy to locate.

I mailed my paperwork about the middle of Oct. and still no card in mail....also is this true that they push back your date to 1 year from the issue date and not 1 year from Dr. ok??? interesting application of the process if this is true..a good application none the less.

[copobo]

yes, 1 year from issue.

A friends was mailed off last week of Sept. and got her card 1/15.

I'm wondering about renewals & if the same holds true - i.e. if I mail in my renewal in just 30 days prior and it takes them months again... do I win again?

It would be swell if they would make these for 5 years or permanent for people with permanent conditions. It would ease up the application process. Next year,their troubles will be doubled with renewals and signups.

Yes!

Your year starts the day they print the card. NOT when the Doctor approved it. :thumbsup:

this is good...now they need to make the cards good for 5 years or a simple low cost re-newal fee for those of us on fixed incomes as the Dr. rates are way high if we have to do this every year....this is what is killing us is the high cost of renewal......

It would benefit the state if they had a 2 year renewal, especially since it is taking almost half a year to process. If they extended the renewal that would be less mail for them and maybe they can get caught up.

I for one would pay $175 for a two or three year license. It would cut down on my time., the departments time, and even save a tree or two.

It just makes sense. Some conditions might change, but for most of us the reason we were allowed the recommendation was because of medical conditions that are not about to change. A license of over a year would benefit not only the patients but the department of health would also benefit.
