Not Too Sure About Temporary License

[J912]

I'm confused about the time limit regaring temporary licensing.

 

I sent my paperwork in certified, have copies of all other legitimate paperwors, forms etc.

 

 

 

The state of Michigan cashed my check on March 19 2014

 

 

 

When would I be OK to being using a dispensary?

 

 I know that there are some that accept temporary papework instead of the card.

 

I'm getting very mixed answers on this, on one hand it was 15 days after MI cashed the check 21 business days, 15 business days etc. etc.

dispensary sales are illegal, be safe.

 

A dispensary does not follow any rules of temporary paperwork Call LARA for the facts, or see http://www.michigan.gov/lara/0,4601,7-154-35299_63294_63303_51869---,00.html

 

Question: If I see my check or money order has been cashed, does that mean I have been approved?
Answer: No. As soon as the MMP receives an application or change form accompanied by a fee the warrant is directly deposited. The MMP has 15 business days to approve or deny an application and then, if the application was denied, 5 business days to send a denial letter.

welcome to the boards.

 

you are legally allowed to acquire and use cannabis the moment the doctor signed your certification.

 

LARA inspects your paperwork to insure you filled it out correctly.  they have 15 business days to review your application and check it for errors and then an additional 5 business days to inform you if you have errors (denial)

 

if there are no errors then on the 21st business day your paperwork will serve as your hard card....until your actual hard card arrives in the mail.  if there are errors you must correct them and resubmit your application.

 

you are legally allowed to acquire and use cannabis the moment the doctor signs your certification.  the risk involved is if you participate in questionable activities (such as visiting a dispensary) is that if questioned by authorities you will have to "prove" you are compliant... the card acts as that proof on its own once its in your possession...

 

also keep in mind when it comes to actions at a dispensary your card potentially would not protect you... find a caregiver or grow your own is the safest way for everyone.

 

the supreme court already said a few years ago that you as a patient (once you have been to the doctor and they sign your certification paperwork stating that cannabis could help alleviate your condition) are authorized to acquire cannabis from any source... however LEO didn't seem to get that message   they still tend to arrest on sight and let the courts figure it out..
