Well, apparently I can get a card, as 250 others have, in my county of two million.
It doesn't sound like they've caught on, yet.

After the police raided my home under false statements, and found I was legit.
They said they were going to include me on a list.
I don't know if this list was only on a local level, but they haven't bothered me about it in 2 years!
Not even when a fight escalated to bullet wounds outside my home, a year later!

Well, I did a little digging and found out how to get a card. Each of us must make an appointment and present over $150 for each card. Nearly $500 annually on top of getting a recommendation.
I guess maybe I'll wait until I hit the lotto jackpot. (Maybe I better buy a ticket).

I haven't bought an ounce in about a decade.an ounce costs more than 150 dollars. if you can't afford the card, you probably don't need it.
mine is 125, i'd gladly pay twice that.
I'd be happy to trade an ounce for a card, and let the state figure out how to sell it.
so you should have plenty of extra money for a card.
if 150 dollars is too much for added safety then don't get it. it's pretty much insurance anyways. i personally feel A LOT safer having mine.

I'm retired, on a limited income.so you should have plenty of extra money for a card.

I don't sell.
But I'll make an exception for you. How much do you want, at $150/oz?
Remember, there are THREE of us.(Four, counting my best friend. His recc is posted with the ours.)
I grow to avoid the $40,000 cost of buying our meds, at dispensaries.
I guess I should mention we've been through the mill with our local government and law enforcement. We feel secure within our community, and rarely leave it. My wife only travels when necessary, and stays in bed over 20 hours a day. After a day in a car, she's down for several days, to weeks.
Fun stuff.

In truth, I wouldn't take a chance, selling.
Long story, but a big part of our security involves being squeaky clean regarding illegal sales.
It just isn't worth it, to us.
The police have seen my garden. They know how much I grow. They've tried to find something to pin on us.
Fortunately our doctors know how much we need, and backed us against the DA. The DA realized that my wife's HMO would back us, making it pretty difficult to persecute us. (Yes, that is the word I want.)
It has been a long, difficult road.
I'm tired.
Yes, some years I have a few pounds excess. That becomes hash or butter.
I'll be making a huge batch of hash and butter in a few days, once I'm nearly done trimming. This is my first try with my own bubble bags. Previously I took my extra to a friend who has the large size bags. He lives quite a ways away, so he took me to a local grow shop and I purchased a good four bag set, last Spring. Pretty cheap, at under $60 for a five gallon set.
We use a lot of edibles.
dude, we've all heard your story 1000 times.
use some of the 40k you SAVED to get your state card. or don't. no need to try to bash it simply because you can't afford it though.
i have no reason or desire to continue this.

Were the cards reasonably priced, where other patients I know who have only Social Security Disability to fall back on could afford them, I'd be more positive.
For those folks, who must also purchase their meds, $150 is a big nut to crack.
Yes, I guess I could buy the cards, but see no benefit, in our case.
I know hundreds of other patients, in real life. I have yet to have one tell me they got "THE CARD". But then again, up to now, I haven't been asking.
Regarding my story, maybe you should think about it. I believe it explains why I don't take on the extra expense.
If I could sell legally, I'd do it. But dispensaries around here are locked into indoor, or selling their own outdoor, as indoor.
I choose to grow outdoors, and I trim for OUR use, not to meet some 19 year old's idea of "bag appeal".
