Anyone making fake medical marijuana cards?

[30/30]

First off, I am not looking for a fake mmj card. I'm from Illinois so it doesn't even matter.

I was curious if people are making fake cards just like fake IDs for booze.
I have never even seen a mmj card online or in person.

I was thinking about trying to get a fake one last time I was in Cali, but I think the cards are supposed to have a phone number the dispensary can call to verify your recommendation.
Anyways, it seems pretty cheap/easy to get a real one...

They are. Way too easy.

not to far from me the police made a fake one, bought from a dispensary, than raided it for selling to people with fake cards. so yes it is possible.

The only folks I have actually heard of using fake MMJ ID cards are the COPS when they want to bust a dispensary!

However, standard dispensary procedures (calling the doctor to verify the rec) usually catch the fakes before the law is broken.

And why would anyone bother to print up fakes and risk counterfeiting charges- a major felony? When......

(A) it is dang easy to get a legit rec. The sleazier "pot docs" will practically give you a rec for being "warm and breathing"!

(B) It is easy to get caught when they check your rec at the dispensary the first time.

(C) California now has just a $100 fine for possession of under an ounce! (That's still too much, though!)

It just isn't worth the hassle to make fakes!

thanks for the info everybody. again I was just curious.

I know the laws of my own state but I don't know too much about other states. the very basics if that.

Kind of off topic... War on drugs and all that, but why bust a dispensary? I don't know all about them, but I assume they pay the state a bit to be open and sell, maybe someone can confirm that. Seems like the DEA/Police are just bored. Like some guy going hunting at the zoo, and claiming to have slain a vicious beast that was caged up. Good job man. Meanwhile at the methlab everyone is getting blown up and polluting the air with deadly chemicals. Got that dispensary though, that was hurting people.

When you go to the collective in Cali, you don't usually get a "card". The card itself is useless pretty much actually. You show your drivers license and the collective checks if you are verified on the computer.

The only thing they want to see is your Original Doctor's Rec and your government issued ID or driver's license. The only way to "fake" it is to steal the originals, which are useless unless you look like the person who you stole from.

the majority of dispensaries in California operate with legit business licenses and (most) in full compliance. Some even tax themselves just to give the state some of the money they are raking in with the thriving MJ market in Cali. In some dispensaries you can't say your "buying" weed you are "donating" for the time it took to produce the weed. Kinda like you can't say bong in a head shop or bomb in an airport.
