Nice try. That could be charged by federal prosecutors as felony transportation.

CA has an actual official medical marijuana card issued upon doctor�s certification of medical need, allowing small quantity possession. Local �dispensaries� will sell you a card, which is not CA official, but both are frequently accepted by local police to avoid an arrest for small quantity possession. Neither is honored by �the feds�. Those cards are a Politically Correct fiction in California only, not binding upon federal law enforcement or courts.
