Legal Question in Mediation in California
Can you get arrested for possession of marijuana even if you have a medical card?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Of course.
You can be arrested if you violate the law. CA has an actual �official� medical marijuana card issued upon doctor�s certification of medical need, which allows you to possess a small personal use quantity which can be legally bought at a few state licensed pharmacies. Local �dispensaries� and co-ops will happily sell you a card made on their photocopy machine, which is not CA official. Both are sometimes accepted by local police to avoid an arrest for small possession. Neither is honored by �the feds�. The cards are a Politically Correct fiction in California only, not binding upon federal law enforcement or courts. You risk federal felony prosecution for even mere possession.
