What does the medical marijuana patient card do for you? – It offers more protection from legal issues (for now). A patient is allowed to have THC in your blood because of the small payment to the state. If you get pulled over this a line of defense. Law enforcement also must prove impairment.
Attorney recommends keeping medical marijuana card and protections.
