Whats the point of even getting a card

[pakaloloprince]

Ok so im starting to think that theres really no reason for me to get a card. for one ill be spending 150 for the recommendation and then if i understand correctly ill spend more to get a card through the dispensary to be in their system. Then once i go to the dispensary the prices are much higher anyways then street prices.

Now if i get caught in california with less than 28.5 grams of marijuana all i get is a ticket that is a 100 dollar fine. seems worth it to just not get busted. but i do have a few questions such as what if i get caught with a pipe on me is there any different charge and say i get busted once what happens if i get busted a second time. and also if i get caught will my car insurance company find out about it and raise my insurance?

hey pecclee man messed up the nam, but the idiotic reason for getting that license is just the way stuff is these days. I am not one to really preach for mines due in 3 days,again I am in wa,state,native cal boat and sail guy.Hey it just might mean the difference someday in your freedom or alot of months in the county, and If your doin big, man, theyd hand your ass, just play by the retarded rules and get doctors to advocate where they should. How would you like to go to college even for an m/d license. Docs are upset cause our government tells them what we get some drunk idiot? But dont go to jail for a statement or something. not worth it.

If you take the effort to look online you will find many co-ops that cap at 45$ 1/8 with really good quality. Along with them having concentrates and clones. Having a recc also adds some legal security and is in general a wise thing to have. And there is no "card" really, just your doctors recc. Although I think they have started to issue LA county (and I'm sure other counties up north) ID cards.

just an FYI all, I got my recommendation from medicann a few months ago and as far as I know, the 24hr verification is online only and so far, ALL the clubs I've gone to and delivery places I've tried required phone verification. Yup, I got my recommendation during my lunch break and was told that I was added to the online system for verification, went to a club that night and was sent home empty handed.

I dunno, Ive been to a few places that use the online verification.. They do have 24-hour phone verification though, its an automated system. I got my rec and went down the street and it already showed up online, less than 15 mins late.

One of your ?'s: If you get busted a first time and don't get legal with your recommendation-that would be foolish, a second time shouldn't happen! :jointsmile: I am sure the legal eagles will submit the remainder of ?'s!! pr

Well, for most patients, the point of getting a his or her doctor's recommendation for medical marijuana is to get safe and legal access to their necessary medications. They don't have to mess around with the potentiality of running into a shady dealer.

And why the hell would your car company raise your insurance? Think about it.

One nice thing about getting a card is that it allows you to grow your own meds, bypassing the dealer/dispensary scene entirely, except to try new strains and of course get your clones. If you CAN get a card, I think it makes good sense for your legal security.

Miscellaneous (paraphernalia, license suspensions, drug tax stamps, etc...)
Any conviction of minor under 21 causes driver's license suspension for 1 year.

The petty misdemeanor of possession is NOT reported to DMV but anything over that is and should CA DMV elect, they can suspend your license to drive, if you are under the age of 21yo....

Get a card if you can. Don't trust cops they will always find ways to put more charges on you. And if you get caught twice, the second time they might put a intention to distribute charge on you.

and 150$ for a card? You sure your in southern cali? Around here can get em for 60$- 80$ AND the clinic prices for bud is cheaper than street dealers.

Youve got several of your facts wrong.. Depending where you go, its usually about $85-115 for a recommendation. I would recommend medicann because of the 24-hour verification, and Ive had no problems with them in the past. They give you the ID card for free now, too.

You dont need to get another card at each dispensary, they just call the doc on your rec and verify you in their system. Once you are verified you usually only need to show Id from that point on.

The prices vary wildly, but you can find good deals (or grow your own). If you get caught without a rec, not only do you get fined but you lose your meds as well. Depending on how much you have, thats another $50-500 right there. The fines go up with ever subsequent ticket, and eventually lead to jail time.
