Yeah, we're definitely way ahead of the majority I'm sure, most of which likely have no chance of even getting through, such as many of the home growers who applied. Also, this part of the article is also very reassuring:

"But Sara Lauer said of the 858 received as of May 20, 370 were returned as incomplete, 149 were refused and 30 withdrawn.

That still leaves 289 applications stacked in the department's inbox for review, which is time-consuming."

I guess that blows the liehub bashers argument out of the water that they keep spewing about 600-800 applicants in front of us lol. One by one their nonsense continues to be proven wrong. I love it.
