Hi y'all! I'm Laura, originally from Georgia, but currently residing in North Carolina. In NC, cannabis is decriminalized, but not legalized for medicinal purposes. I have extremely severe fibromyalgia and cannabis is all that helps a lot of the pain. I don't like having to break the law, even though they are not strict and very rarely enforced here in NC.

But my family and I were wondering, if we flew me out to Cali to get a medical MJ card and then came back to NC, would I still be covered legally? I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but I am desperate for help and legal, quality pain relief. The cannabis I come across is sometimes dank, but usually not good enough to be used for my medicinal purposes. Would it be possible to go to Cali (I have a friend in Beverly Hills I can stay with), obtain a medical marijuana card while there, then fly back to NC & have it honored here? Do other states respect the medical marijuana cards of other states? Or could I still be arrested by NC police for possessing and/or growing if I had a Cali medical MJ card? Any help y'all could offer on this situation would be wonderful. Thanks so much!
Cheers,
Laura K.

Your card is only good in the state in which it was issued.

My friend with MS has to go to Cali on business soon; she called some dispensaries already to see if they would honor a Vermont med card, and some said they would, while some would NOT. This is entirely separate from what the COPS would honor, and if she gets pulled over in possession in Cali, even with a VT card she may still have problems- I think that would be up to the discretion of the individual officer whether he would simply look the other way. Are you willing to risk it?

If I were you, I'd save the money on something that is not going to do you any good in court, and spend it on a light and fan, and grow your own until the law changes.

Good luck.

I don't claim to know the first thing about growing anything; hell, I can't make a Chia pet sprout.

Stinkyattic has it absolutely correct, good advice ...
