You can get arrested in Cali if the cop and PD are dicks. LA county sherrifs sometimes want to go after the doctor as well. Most cops ignore it if its a small amount. Some cops make you dump it and smash the buds into the street or dirt with your shoes. NEVER carry a scale in your car with MMJ. The cop has reasonable suspicion to imply that you are selling, and then get a search and sesure on you. Not fun. Be careful and good luck!
