MM without a card

I recently moved to California where Medical Marijuana is legal, but I'm not a resident and unable to get a card for my medicine. I do use various MOM providers but I would love to be able to get a card and go get it myself as it will be easier and not having to wait is great. I know this is a longshot but I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to get a California MM card without being a resident. I read an article stating that it's not required to have a California ID, but it was enforced as so. I guess my question is do anyone know of any dispensaries/doctors in the Bay Area who are willing to treat patients without being a California resident. 

 
Are you from a foreign country? What's keeping you from getting a CA ID? Not that I care, I'm just wondering.

I seriously doubt a Dr. or dispensary will risk their practice or business selling to someone without a medical card. I think it is a requirement that you be a resident to get a MM card. 

Thats the bad news. The good news is cannabis possession is decriminalized for an ounce or less, not packaged for distribution. Only a citation and small fine, I think $100.

Good Luck!

The reason for not having an ID is because my husband and I are here on a travel assignment for 3 months, so I didn't think I would be able to get a California license as I'm here temporarily and do not have a permanent address. But I knew it was a longshot but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. 

Thanks

 
i would think an order from here would be the better bet if your going to be there for three months..?  NO?

 
Thanks for the replies. Yeah we have been placing orders from trusted MOM providers but we were just wondering if anyone knew of a loophole to use one of the many dispensaries in the Bay Area. I saw this article (http://www.eastbayexpress.com/LegalizationNation/archives/2015/01/28/why-any-patient-can-go-get-medical-marijuana-in-california-right-now) which basically says it's not a law to have a state ID but it was enforced as so. I was just curious if anyone knew of a place that would accept us without having an California ID.

Thanks

 
That's a very interesting article, Jeffhardy29. I've had a card for about 10 years and they always do ask me for ID at both my yearly Renewal visit, and any dispensary I visit. Perhaps with that article in hand you could get a Dr. to give you a card but then dispensaries might balk. Dispensaries are quite expensive too, especially for top shelf, but I do like the concentrates they have.

 
Seriously, this sounds stupid but Craigslist is a great source for weed in MMJ states.  The cops don't care and so people sell openly, I'm a former commercial grower and a lot of people I sold to resold on Craigslist to people who just didn't want to mess with getting a card.  It became so open before it went rec. that I even blew off my medical card because nobody cared anymore.  A lot of times you are getting closer to the grower and there is less overhead so you get better deals than with a dispensary.

 
Don't know much 'bout CL ppl w/these items - even less 'bout reliability/quality/security ...

If a mbr has experience w/a solid contact, can it be mentioned? 

Mod? Help?

Ask them for pics of their buds, they list their cellphone numbers and it is not a secretive thing.  I've used craigslist for buds in Colorado to avoid dispensary prices, as well as viagra and cialis in WA (where I've sold buds on CL), never got a bad sack or bunk pills.  You just have to talk to the people, if they are not straight forward or you get a bad feeling, then on to the next spot.  Believe me there is no shortage of dealers in CA or CO, WA or OR; and the police don't care at all.  It really isn't a big deal.  I hate dispensaries, they are a rip off, besides you just get to look at the buds in a jar, its not like you get to really check them out and give them a squeeze.

I know when I visited Colorado no1 asked me for a card in the dispensaries, idk if California is stricter. I do know that 99.9% of the time Drs never refuse recommending a card to patients in CA. As MM is used to treat basically anything and everything plus keeps most people off the chemicals.

  2. The Doctor RC @ The Doctor RC: Yeah donated snd once I got emerald I was able to chat.
  3. C @ Clash283: I donated and just had access.
  4. xenxra @ xenxra: yeah but isn't the password restricted to sponsors anyway? why not just make that section private like the other ones? or is "brand new members" inclusive of sponsored accounts that are newly registered?
  5. Gracie5 @ Gracie5: The password isn’t given automatically, at least by me. I don’t give it to brand new members.
  6. xenxra @ xenxra: dm admin for password. i still don't really understand the purpose of the password section if it's just given out freely to anyone who is a sponsor.
  7. N @ Nebulon Kitty: I've recently donated to become an opal member, and posted in the thread after the donation. How do I go about actually getting the password to the members area and my Opal status.

  16. O @ otbotf: how do i find the password to the locked pages?
  17. H @ hotdog45: @Mokachin0 thank you. Truly those words are not enough, but it's all I have at the moment. You are an amazing person.

  19. xenxra @ xenxra: @Steviejay88 if there's one major takeaway i've gained from all the indictments against onion farmers it's that you should never rely on server-side encryption for these kinds of things. please refer to hansa as a case example.
  20. A @ Aarfgh: @Steviejay88 absolutely my man, good question
