I have seen someone try that only to get slapped even worse. But that is where I live, and I don't see it becoming a MM state EVER or until the fed makes them and I don't see that happening anytime soon. The case I saw the judge just laughed at him and said "this is {state} not California" and gave him the max for possession (1 year) then said "you can appeal and I recommend you leave that card in California because it means nothing here".

Basically the Judge was saying "how dare you try and hide behind that excuse in my courtroom" and decided to give him the max knowing he would appeal it inorder to get the proper sentence and cost him a huge amount of money for the lawyers on the appeal.

Sucks that people with power can act like that but they are out there.
