What are Prop 215 and SB 420?
In 1996, Californians voted to allow legal use of marijuana for qualified patients. The legal measure was known as Proposition 215 on the 1996 referendum ballot. The passing of Prop 215 caused the creation of SB 420, also known as the Compassionate Use Act. The Act makes legal the possession and cultivation of marijuana by a patient, or the patient's primary caregiver, for the personal use of that patient accompanied by a valid physician's recommendation.

What will a physician's recommendation for Medical Marijuana allow?
Allows qualified patients the legal use of Medical Cannabis under California Proposition 215 also known as the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 Health & Safety Code 11362.5 and SB420.
What is the State ID program?
The Medical Cannabis ID Program addresses the issues of refining, as well as prolonging, the legal protection of patients, thus creating statistical and confidential data about how many patients need Medical Marijuana. The program was created in an effort to develop a plan for the safe and affordable distribution of marijuana to all patients in medical need.
Many patients believe that the ID program offers legal protection, which it does not on its own. Proposition 215 offers limited protections, and both patients and caregivers should consult a qualified attorney about the applicability of those protections to their individual situations. The federal government does not recognize the California law about Medical Marijuana use. Enrollment in the Medical Cannabis ID Program is STRICTLY VOLUNTARY. This is just for patients that prefer the convenience of a driver's license-sized photo ID card. All records and forms you submit will be returned to you once your ID card application has been processed, to give the protection of confidentiality for both the doctor and the patient.
If issued an ID card, the program will keep on file; the number of your card, the expiration date, and the date the card was issued. Law enforcement will be able to contact the County Health Department to verify the card number, issue date, and the expiration date. The state ID cards will be valid for one year. SB420 states that card holders must annually submit.
If your state ID card is lost or stolen, you will need to present your original physician's recommendation and a valid state or federal ID, complete a new application, and pay the application fee.
