the California 'I.D. Card' is VOLUNTARY, not required by Prop. 215 ... quite a few counties don't even make one available (they don't want the legal liability of being involved) ... I have my Original full-sized Doctor's MJ Recommendation in my safe, another copy in my glove-compartment with my vehicle's registration and proof-of-insurance, and a smaller copy I carry in my wallet ... accomplishes the same thing, costs nothing, and doesn't put me on my County's mailing list ... :smokin:
