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?
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.
