A long while back, it was difficult processing paperwork without computers and internet connections.
If you had the desire to keep track of the currency in your bank account, you had to essentially keep a balance sheet that includes every check written and the amount.
I actually take it for granted these days that I can get this information on my iphone nearly anytime I want it and I no longer have to manually record my purchases. On top of that, the bank companies are actually creating cards where you only have to hover over the payment screen to confirm your purchases. That way you don’t have a chip or a magnetic strip on the card that happens to be disfigured in long term use. Although our state medical marijuana cards aren’t advanced like new bank cards, they’re also becoming easier and easier to renew as a medical marijuana patient. When I started in our state’s medical cannabis program approximately four years back, you had to send a physical application to the state capital, along with passport photos from a Walgreens or CVS that you essentially had to pay for yourself. With the application, photos, and medical documents, you also had to include a check for $71. Now you can do all of this with just so many clicks on your computer or smartphone, especially now that the state medical marijuana office is easily linked to the DMV. You can choose a checkbox that imports all of your data from the DMV state archives. They will import the photo from your driver’s license and the residency status too. As you can probably guess, this is also a quick way to move identification information if it’s accurate on your license. Instead of waiting for weeks, I was recently approved for my new medical marijuana card in only a few days!
