In Illinois they have four employees in the Illinois Department of Public Health processing cards which in my case took 2 months. I do not even know if this stuff will make my quality of life better, but the delay, the fingerprinting, the excessive fees, is simply the alcohol and restaurant lobbies fighting legalized pot at every turn.
I have been slipping pretty steadily for the last two months and I am now fighting a horrible cold which has settled in my chest. My wife has been bed ridden from the same for two days and both of us have had some nasty fevers. So when I drove to the dispensary which is 70 miles away, I was not in a good mood. It is located in a modern office building. They meet you outside, and bring patients in one at a time after they have ran your card. It all happened pretty quick, as I filled out the first time customer form, and met with an assistant who went over my illness and my desire not to be loopy, and just wanting to cut some of the edge off my bone met pain. As I was waiting, I saw about four young people who were all upbeat and getting their prescriptions filled and it left a very bad taste in my mouth as they seemed perfectly healthy, and were pretty mouth on top of it. However, the longer I stayed the wheelchairs came, the elderly came, and the truly sick became the majority. Who am I to judge.
I bought 200 dollars of edibles and a dropper bottle which allows me to put it right under my tongue. I just cut a cherry candy edible in half before posting this as they want me for the next two weeks to go at about half dosage until I find what is effective. I have not had any cognitive impairment as the THC in this initial chewable has less impact on the cognitive. We will see. I am going to keep a log of my endocrine cancer symptoms at the time of taking a dose, and an exact time of each dose. I will not drive a vehicle within a 24 hour period of a dose, so the next time I will drive is 2pm Friday for a poker game, as I plan to take the 2nd part of the chewable on Thursday am. I must have utmost discipline on my log, or I will simply have to stop driving. I will not endanger the public. The assistant said 6 hours is plenty of time to wait, but I want absolute safeguards in place. We will see. Not even the slightest cognitive distortion with about a half hour gone now, but a general feeling of calm and comfort. Very interesting.
