I know a handful of ppl who have a license they are A BITCH to get The whole process from asking for an application to having the license in your hand gonna takes months and might go over a year. Theres diff licenses too, each different one gives you different 'rights' for example - Licen.#213 allows you to buy max of one oz per week and have up to 10 mature plants (and some # of seedlings i forgot), certain others vary from 1/4 ounce max. to 2 ounces, I think thats as high as you can get. Pun intended
