To the best of my knowledge, medical marijuana cards are issued by the state one resides in, if that state is one where MM is legal. I don't think states have reciprocal agreements to honor MM cards issued from another state, but I hope that I am wrong? Federal laws do nothing to help the situation, actually the opposite, federal laws make MM very difficult since they do not ledgitimize MM in any way, and the FDA, which approves R/X scripts, is a federal agency. Sorry I don't have a better answer to your question, but the current situation is not optimal. As us older people get replaced with the younger generation, which is more open to the benefits of MM, things will eventually change. But in the mean time, access to a very legitimate treatment option for many things is only available from the black market in many states. Unfortunately, the black market is geared toward recreational use and does not provide products that benefit most people with a real MM need. As I always say, follow the $$$ to find the truth. The biggest funders against MM are the pharmaceutical companies, and the biggest funders against recreational marijuana is the alcohol industry. Read between those lines!
