    The above responses were deleted because they are PATENTLY WRONG.

    PEOPLE please do not post incorrect information - if you don't know for sure, DO NOT POST!



    OP - It is not required that you purchase the $163 state ID card to be a legal medical marijuana patient.

    HOWEVER - it is the ONLY form of recommendation that any Law Enforcement Officer MUST take as proof of recommendation. What that means is that if you don't have one you can legally be cited and have your meds confiscated. BUT when you appear in court with your valid recommendation your citation will be tossed out of court and you should be able to get your meds returned to you.


    So word to the wise, if you get stopped a lot by LEO, then you should get the card - also if you transport a lot of meds it's a necessity. Seems like you're a "cop magnet" if you're already on probation, so it might be a good idea to get one.

    BUT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO IN ORDER TO BE 100% LEGAL

    WOW..a two for one here!


    1. Court followed the intent of a law vs the letter (as it should be).
    2. You accepted that you had goofed and would pay a fine.
    Karma is a bitch but she does come through for those deserving...

    A +rep for the 2nd one is well deserved.:wave:

    I'll take it that OP was stopped first for 'something' and after running the ID, searched due to the probation...else that face recognition software has really improved and been linked to that global crime data base we know they have...</aluminumfoilhattime>

    :p

    Appreciate The Replies, The Cop didnt even have a valid reason for pulling me over he pulled me over out of straight discrimination of what i looked liked not for any racial discrimination, Im ready to fight it man Instead of the Cops out busting real drug dealers or even people who have marijuana illegally theyre out here busting people on a Friday night(As If They Dont have Anything To Do) who have Valid Marijuana Reccomendations who are trying to do things the right way, I have a legitimate reason for my Marijuana use I was hit by a car when i was 16 I have 6 herniated discs in my Lower back i have MRI's Xrays and years of physical therapy to back up my reccomendation, I think i have a VERY good chance of my ticket being dismissed.

    Some doctors have the state seal for recommendations.... not just id cards. Most id cards are bs anyway it must be a state id card.
