Who here uses a medical card? What do you find beneficial or not beneficial about them?
In my state we do have medical cards, they are “prescribed” by a medical doctor. This gives us the legal right in my state to buy and consume. We also have cultivators license that give us the right to do our own grows, under certain State laws, putting us in charge of our own meds. The plus? Not being arrested or risking losing our property for conducting a grow, the downside is the cost. We do not have digital cards, they come in a paper form.Who here uses a medical card?

Here in Oklahoma you have to have one or it's jail time if caught. Have to get a prescription from a pot doc. Fill out some info with the state and give them money. They send you your medical card and your good to go for two years. We can have 6 plants in flower and 6 plants in veg. There are limits in quantity you can have on your person and stored..Who here uses a medical card? What do you find beneficial or not beneficial about them?
I've always tried to keep my pot smoking quiet,my Doctor and a few friends know I smoke. I'm just about 70 and I have a hard time believing that if i tell the gov I'm growing and smoking & pay for a permit or license I'll be safer than if I just keep it quiet. Today's gov may say Ye tomorrows may say Nay and they'll know where to start looking with your name in their data base....Who here uses a medical card?

I do. Originally got one with my late wife when she got Pancreatic cancer, and it was medical only.Who here uses a medical card? What do you find beneficial or not beneficial about them?
Are there any rules on how straight your lines have to be when positioning your pots? What about footing? do you have to stand on your left or right foot when watering?....Can you use red watering pots? Does your lawyer need to be on retainer or can you just call him when you need advice?Here's what I found for my state- In AZ there are 3 reasons to have a medical card. Under 21 can use with gaurdian consent, pay less taxes so cheaper, and if you're in pain management classes(needed to purchase pain pills regularly) you can test positive for THC in test. Although the last is grey as some Docs will allow a positive test for anyone.
Reasons not to- You're in the gov't database for med, only ID check for rec. Medical can buy 2.5oz every 2 weeks. Rec is 1oz each visit to any dispensary. Med grows are very strict. Must be tested, can't be grown within certain distances of schools, and a limit on how much the patient can possess from grow. A few other things. Rec grows rules are 6 plants per 21 yr old in dwelling(up to 12 plants). Indoors- grow room door must lock. Outdoors- must be in enclosed and lockable area. I can't find a possession limit at home, but only 1oz on your person in public.
Hmmm.. I just spent the morning looking this up. Didn't see the dosage thing, but sure you're right. I was going off of local articles. Do you know all the exact rules for medical grows Craig? Every article seemed to have different things listed, while having a few things the same.I do. Originally got one with my late wife when she got Pancreatic cancer, and it was medical only.
I still keep a card, plus just got one for my girlfriend. In AZ you get two benefits: You don't have to pay another 16% tax, and you're allowed higher amounts in several ways. For instance, I can legally hold 2.5 OZ with a card, only 1 without. (Plus whatever I grow, which seems a kind of gray area?)
Only medical card users can buy edibles with more than 10mg per dose. In particular I can buy the 100mg Keef Colas instead of the 10mg versions (which I've never seen). I once saw a big brownie for sale with 2000mg - $240 marked down to $170.
Sometimes you get a shorter line at dispensaries for medical. I don't know of any dispensaries that still do medical only, but for a while that was a draw.
I only know the rules for recreational grows - 6 plants max per person, 12 max per household. Apparently you can keep all your crop and/or give it away at up to an oz at a time. Medical grows are much more restricted, and you could not do one if within 25 miles of a dispensary so I never did one.Hmmm.. I just spent the morning looking this up.

Ok. From what I was reading they made it seem if you had you're card it was considered a medical grow. Lot of it just seems so weird. Like buying med is 2.5oz every 2 weeks, but rec I can hit every dispenserary for an Oz as long as I drop the first oz off at home first?

There is a tracking system for medical that doesn't exist for recreational.Ok. From what I was reading they made it seem if you had you're card it was considered a medical grow.

If you get a DUI for weed, having a card gives one the only slight legal edge against the charge in that you can argue against intoxication.Don't know the exact way to express this but from a federal level, if you want to buy a firearm or in some states carry a firearm concealed, I'd forgo getting a medical card. Personally what the government doesn't know won't hurt them as long as whatever you do is only to yourself and not harmful to others. If firearms aren't your thing than I'd go for it if there would be benefits where you live. In some states it might be none issue, while others I've heard it's an issue, it primarily depends how close the state laws follow federal laws.
Either way, I'm one to ask the physician about benefits of weed first and it they think its good for a condition I have I'd use it but not get the card. Government shouldn't make a plant illegal nor tax something that you could grow yourself.
