Better yet, don't tell him that you smoke at all!!! Why would you volunteer that information? Cops don't really consider it medicine and you're just setting yourself up to be hassled more.
If they do find out you're a patient (because you had some weed on you and had to present your card as defense) then tell them you only smoke occasionally when your arthritis flares up and it's been a couple days! Or something along those lines.
It's amazing that people still think cops are your friends. There's cops out there who'll be chomping at the bit to drag you downtown for this...
