i dont know exact dates or anything like that but it took me a while to get my card not becasue of the nmdoh but because of my pain doc...After about a year of trying medication after medication i finally said enough and my do finally signed the paper work. Sent it in i would say around the middle to end of jan and recived my card around then 15thish of febuary the date on my card is feb 9th.... So from the time i sent in my application in snail mail it took i would say about 2 weeks. At that time i was stil debating growing it myself for many reasons. So when i decided to grow myself i sent in the application and i waould say 2-3 weeks later i reecived my license to grow. All in all from the time i submitted the application it was not to long of a wait. I dont know if this is helpfull since i dont remember exact dates and such but this is my best estimate.
