it was very easy to talk to the Dr. and get approved for the card but when I went to use the temporary card they give me to use until the real one comes in the mail isn't accepted by three dispensaries I went to claiming they want a real Maine seal on it so it was a bust for me. The lure of getting your card instantly failed in my case unfortunately... update: After looking further and emailing folks I was able to use the temp card so I'm happy now!
