Last week I saw a Dr and got his recommendation. While there his nurse informed me that with copies of the recommendation I am legal 21 days after my check is cashed by the state. Is this new, and should I wait to start my grow?

Right, just finished reading the whole "how to get started" thread. Looks like I'll be firing things up in early March. ;) Thanks for the input.

When I was at the doc's office with my wife, we were issued a copy of a letter from the Michigan DOCH which contained this paragraph that should answer your question:

The date stamp on an application is not an approval; it only means our department has received this application. The application will be approved or denied within 15 days of receipt. If denied, the patient will receive a certified letter from the State of Michigan explaining the reasons and what to do next.

If the patient has not received a certified letter of denial from the State approximately 20 days after the date stamp on this application, then in most cases, the patient (and the caregiver, if one was designated on the application) has been approved. Pursuant to the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act ("Act") and General Rules, the copy of a valid application is deemed a valid registration card after 20 days.

Yes.....the law states that a copy of your paperwork and a copy of the cashed check from your bank (the one you sent to the state) is good as long as your 21 days have passed. I started my first grow on the 22nd day.
