1) Look for the cheapest place you can find! Cheap, as a general rule, means less picky about medical records, etc.

2) I believe that MediCan is one of the less expensive places. I went through a doctor listed on NORML's pages. Now, about that card.... counties give them and dispensaries often have their own cards. The county one is not necessary- all you REALLY need is the doctor's recommendation. The dispensary cards give you access to their dispensary, but not to others.

3) I'm in rural Cali, haven't a clue!

4) A doctor's recommendation is good anywhere in Cali. My county has yet to give cards out, so I don't know too much about them. I DO know that the local government is corrupt as can be, so I won't be getting a county card in the near future! I simply don't trust them not to leak names to the feds!

5) I wouldn't.
