I did not believe him so I did some research.

He is right!

I found that the places we get our Meds at are operating illiegally and could all be shut down in a moments notice and many are being shut down. Unlike CALI and other states where they are legal caregivers.

We can possess an amount of Meds but we can not buy it. So how do you get it if you do not buy it. So I guess the DONATE word helps. However still very grey area.

So this is bunk. We get a bogus paper that will maybe reduce or get our possession ticket if we get one thrown out. However we if they shut all the dispensieries down like they did in Snohomish county. (Marysville to be exact) for being illiegal. Where do we go?

That said, Bless those folks providing care. They are at risk from what I read.
We are no where near CA, Hawaii or OR in our MED M laws.
You can grow, and you can possess. You just cannot legally transfer. If you're charged under state law, you mmj auth gives you the right not to be found guilty under the state provided you have complied with all the requirements. Theoretically mmj auth should also shield you from having your plants or dried matter confiscated, but the way the law is written that is only if the LEO finds you to have a valid authorization...
