...and THEN hangs up on you after you wait on hold for 10 minutes.
IL businesses already know IL doesn't pay its bills. What they need to do is take all those former driver's license printers and give them to IDPH and rework the MCPP cards to be done by them.
I haven't done it yet. 24-48 hours. But don't run yourself dry before switching, sometimes you get stuck in limbo.
BS, the card would do that. "I smell cannabis." "That would be because I have an ounce right here. I'm on my way back from the dispensary. Here's my card."
Seriously?
u can for sure drive with it. open and everything. but in a lock box they sell at Cannacare for $30 and its not in arms reach of the driver. This can 100% be confirmed. and i highly doubt they are pulling people over all cuz they have a marijuana card. its obvious if morons are too high to drive. its not an automatic ur gunna be pulled over.. thats like saying 1 dui and now u think all cops think ur drunk
I would still use caution because I was told different. They said if I open the stapled bag with what I bought in the dispensary it can be taken from me if pulled over. It needs to be without arms reach and sealed from the dispensary. If you are pulled over I was also told to hand them your DL and MM card because they already know you have one from your plates. Not only that but I was told they can take you in for a blood test if they feel they have reason to without your consent. This is what I was told from the bud tender.
It's an awful big state with a lot of backwards redneck areas to make assumptions about all the cops in the state.
I had my nephew, a high ranking cop, look at the statute. I read it as the passenger can have an open container in the trunk or bed. The driver cannot have it except in an unopened bottle. I compare (b) & (c) and look at the differences between drivers and passengers.
Remember, a police officer cannot search your car without a warrant or reasonable cause. Don't drive under the influence and keep your cannabis in a smellproof container, out of site and nowhere near your person. Know your rights as a citizen and don't volunteer any information that you don't have to.
I'm also at MedMar and I'm also quite happy with the selection. But Dispensary33 has been hyping some kind of "bulk" sale this weekend that caught my eye...
That's a bit of a snap interpretation. I understand not moving past 625 ILCS 5/11-502.1(b) to (c) when the driver is a cardholder. But if the driver is not a cardholder, then (b) can't apply by its plain words.
That person told you an outright lie. It does not have to be in a stapled Bag, My Dispensary uses Plastic jewel type bags, but they do not close them in any way. It is the actual Cannabis Container that must be sealed, and Ideally locked in a Box, but if you have a Passenger car, the trunk is legal. I have that, if I had an SUV, i would get a lock box. Make The Police believe you are being compliant in all ways and you have less chance of being hassled.
I work for the state, so I'm only basing this on every other agency that I've been involved with. Every agency that I work around (and I'm in a Chicago building with most of the state agencies) has people that are strictly hired to answer phones. I see no reason why that office would be any different.
Technically the card should make it so smell is not a cause for searching. It smells, it gets on stuff. But that doesn't mean cops who are used to using the smell excuse still won't after finding out you are legal to possess.
I agree 100%. I even told him that, pointing out who is the licensed person determines which applies, the driver or the passenger. And pointed out if both are licensed the original container that it would have to be in has a sticker with the owner's name on it.
If I knew how I metabolize it I'd almost rather do the blood test than try to tilt my fused neck backwards and stand on one arthritic foot.
I don't think this is correct. I think what the law says is that if you refuse any sobriety test related to cannabis, you can lose your card. ("Any registered qualifying patient who commits a violation of Section 11-502.1 of the Illinois Vehicle Code or refuses a properly requested test related to operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of cannabis shall have his or her registry identification card revoked.") So I think you can refuse the test if you want to ... but you risk having your card automatically revoked (guilty or not) and I think the police can still compel you just like anyone else if they have probable cause (DUI law admittedly not my area of expertise).
I don't think you can be forced unless there's an accident (fatality or injury I forget which), that's a blood test.
