    I'm in the bay area of california and i'm ready to get my card but do i have to worry about insurance? i'm 18 and still on my parents insurance. Will they be contacted by the insurance company or anything because i would like it if they did not know about it.

    No, your insurance won't/can't do anything to help you with the fees for your card so they won't be contacted at all.

    Come on, let's be a LITTLE more serious please? I'm all for fun, but not in important threads.

    There should be a sticky somewhere that talks about insurance, it comes up often enough.

    Your standard HMO/PPO Health insurance will not cover your Medical Marijuana Recommendation nor will it provide funds to buy Medication from a dispensary. Period.

    There MAY be a small health insurance company that is supposedly offering reimbursements on meds, but I haven't heard anything from anyone actually enrolled as to how well it works. I'm not even sure they still exist, but I have seen ads for them in MMJ related magazines.

    The ONLY insurance related connection is that if you are currently on Medi-Cal you can get a DISCOUNT at certain recommending doctors and also a discount on the State/County ID Card.

    Otherwise, for hopefully the last time, no your standard Health Insurance doesn't want to have anything to do with MMJ.
