1. Do you have to be a state resident to get a MM card in Washington?
Yes

2. Is there any kind of law extending the services of a caregiver to someone with another states MM card?
Not in the law so no

3. If I were to find a way off the grid to procure some, would I be prosecuted if caught(my guess is yes)?
Very variable depending on where you got busted. In Seattle probably nothing would happen, in another city or county possibly.


4. My recommendation came through Cannamed. They have a web site that verifies card numbers, names, and ID. Would this be enough to allow a provider to sell me herb without a lot of hassle?
No. You have to be a legal resident to be covered.

But having said that, there are cases where out of staters have had there MJ returned. One guy had over 6 pounds and it was returned. Most jurisdictions will arrest or ticket you, depending on the amount and let it be decided in court. You're best bet would be to bring your meds with you from Cali. Here in Washington we're allowed to have up to 24 ounces of finished product. That would be a much safer way to do it.
