The only card I have is an ID card provided by the pot doctor place I went to, however, this card has no legal purpose whatsoever. So far, every co-op I've been to doesn't care to see it either, they all want the written recommendation from my doctor, that is all you need to be legal. The card was optional and I pretty much just got it to show off to my friends hehe :P

I also live in a county that doesn't provide a government issued card such which what Storm Crow is talking about, I'm not sure which counties provide these but I know many do not. I think Orange county does, but I don't know about LA county, and personally I wouldn't want one for the same reasons Storm Crow mentioned. I honestly don't see why so many people want the card, so far it is optional and I'd rather not be registered on some government database! I really don't even like the idea of my name being in a computer at the office of a pot doctor facility, but because my primary doctor wouldn't write the recommendation, I have no other choice.

Besides, you don't have to register with the government when you take any other prescribed medicine, so why on earth should I need to register for medical marijuana? I believe the whole card idea is a waste of time and as long as you have your written recommendation with you, that should be enough to get a cop off your back.
