You can grow your own weed - legally. Why wouldn't you get a card?

Like stinkyattic said, you can grow your own! Eighths no longer cost $70, more like $10-15. (...Depending on multiple variables of course)

Nobody sets out to grow with the intention of being caught, but as we all know, some do. When that event happens, why wouldn't you want to have your ass covered?

Scenario A:
*BANG*
"Sheriff's Department! Don't move! Put your fucking hands up!"
*Multiple LEO's*
-No recommendation-
"You have the right to remain silent...."

Scenario B:
*BANG*
"Sheriff's Department! Don't move! Put your fucking hands up!"
*Multiple LEO's*
-Recommendation found on wall-
"One, two, three, four.....okay. He's within limits.....You know, you really should get your county card....."

As far as it being more expensive in the clubs; that's how we make sure none of it gets re-sold on the street. It's pretty hard to make any (worthwhile) money back on a $400-500 ounce; just do the math. Any anti-MMJ organizations/people would just LOVE to see a story about MMJ being resold on the street.
