MEDICAL CARD

[ELBURRO]

HELLO. THIS QUESTION IS IN REGARDS FOR MY BROTHER WHO IS ON PROBATION FOR TRAFFICKING MARIJUANA. I AM MOVING TO CALI NEXT MONTH AND HE WANTS TO MOVE WITH ME. IF HE MOVES WITH ME AND IS ON PROBATION FROM ANOTHER STATE (FL), CAN HE GET A MEDICAL CARD? THANK YOU.

 

[Babbabud]

yes he can get a medical card. If you are on probation in cali you will be able to use medical MJ.... but being on probation in florida he may not get the same rights. He can have the card no matter what but whether florida PO will honor it is a diff problem.

but being on probation in florida he may not get the same rights.

Just have is probation transferred to Cali....I'd think, for a non violent crime felony, I'd think that would be workable, but don't "quote" me, as I don't know the person's prior convictions!! He is still going to need permission to leave Fl!!!

He would be transferring the probation from Florida to California. I am just confused to how that works. Will the florida law still apply once he moves to California since he was arrested in florida and started his probation in Florida? Also, he does not have any prior convictions. This is his first charge as an adult.

Usually when someone is on probation they are required to " obey all laws " which technically includes all federal laws . So if he transfers probation to Cali and has to see a probation officer it's all up to them whether or not they want to make an issue out of it . It is possible to be on probation and get piss tested , but be allowed to test positive for THC if you have a med card . It may take the help of a lawyer to make that work though .

i was on probation for cultivation in nevada but once i got my card i got an 'honorable discharge' 10 months early. when i was on probation and technically legal by state law i was still piss tested but since i only showed pos for thc all was cool. it only lasted a couple months before i was released.
if cali works like nevada all he'll need is to become a legal resident asap then he can apply for the card/script. it's always easier if the person brings along their medical records and all pertinent info relating to the med prob too...

good luck

Help Will Foster, Free Gift for Participation
With a constant barrage of global news surrounding us, we now have the power to know that there is always a crisis somewhere- a volcano shattering peoples lives, a tsunami or hurricane, man made disasters-mostly wars- and humans attempting to control nature. We become desensitized to it, or else we couldn’t enjoy a fine meal, or go to a water park, or even enjoy lovemaking- so when someone shouts “fire!” unless you are in that crowded theater, chances are that you will take no action.

The further away a situation is, the more remote it becomes. To most of us, a disaster in India isn’t as significant as one in your hometown. For this reason the Will Foster case and Will Foster’s plight should alert all of us that we are possibly only an arrest away from a ruined life. To tell his story briefly, Will Foster was a self-employed professional working in Tulsa, Oklahoma when he was arrested for a garden that measured less than 5 x 5 ft, or a total of less than 25 square feet. Since his gigantic garden could have supplied all of Tulsa and its suburbs, he was given a sentence of 93 years. This was later reduced to 20 years and then he was released on probation after serving 4.5 years behind bars. He came to live with me in California, and after 3 years of probation the state of California said “you’re a free man”. Oklahoma objected because they felt he should serve at least a double-digit of years more probation. As a result of this conflict, the two states are attempting to extradite him to Oklahoma. Both governors have signed the extradition warrant. After the girls in my office playing phone tag with the entire state of Oklahoma, we have deduced that Will’s fate is in the hands of Oklahoma Department of Corrections Director Justin Jones.

Will’s case is another proof of the injustice that marijuana users face everyday in the US. His case and his freedom are important as a symbol of our demand to be freed from these chains. Will needs your help and statistically, only about 3% of the people who are asked to do something like this, actually pick up a pen and do it. They figure, someone else will do it. Think of it this way, I am asking you, personally, to do this for Will. No checks, no money, just your good nature, your pen, a piece of paper and a stamp. So crude, but emails aren’t as effective as letters are to these bureaucrats.

Below is another letter, and yes, I have asked you to send quite a few, but the goal is to flood these people with public opinion: MARIJUANA IS NOT A CRIME!

Dear California Extradition Specialist Janelle Jenkins and Oklahoma Department of Corrections Director Justin Jones,

I am writing to you out of extreme concern regarding the extradition of William Foster. Foster has an extradition hearing in Sonoma County, CA on August 4th at 1:30pm.

We are asking that you review this case on humanitarian grounds and cancel the extradition warrant against Will Foster. Foster suffers from degenerative arthritis and is being persecuted for choosing to grow a medical marijuana garden in Oklahoma. He was convicted after his 5’x 5’ marijuana garden was raided and originally sentenced to sentenced to 93 years in prison. Will was a first time non-violent offender and eventually re-sentenced to 20 years.

In 2001, after serving 4 ½ years of his 20 year sentence, he was released and as a condition of his parole was told to leave the state. He moved to Santa Rosa, California –with permission from Oklahoma- and kept monthly contact with his parole officer.

Due to administrative complications and miscommunication, Oklahoma issued a warrant for Foster and he was taken into custody in 2008. Oklahoma has now issued an extradition warrant for Foster, claiming he is a fugitive of justice, which was signed by both Governor Brad Henry and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

It is in the interest of justice and the taxpayers of both states I am requesting that Foster’s extradition be canceled. Limited resources would be more wisely spent containing violent offenders rather than extending the incarceration and prosecution of a non-violent crime.

i have a lady friend who was busted for cultivation in oklahoma for a 1st offense (1st EVER prob with the law). she was handed a 12-15 year sentence and is in prison to this day...year 7 just passed for her. okies don't play games and hope those friends of ours still left there will get out asap.

i'll be sending the foster letters out tomorrow and hopefully california powers-that-be will come to their senses...i'm sure oklahoma won't give a shit.

 

[JJScorpio]

Like was said earlier, If he gets his probation transfer OK'd, then he will be on probation in Cali. If he qualifies he can still use MM......

 

[ocean99]

If you're moving to cali get the probation transferred in a big city. Big city PO's probably could give a shit less about small time FL offenses, MUCH bigger fish to fry.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR REPLIES THEY ARE VERY HELPFUL

oops, i must have read-over that 'trafficking' part...yes, you are correct. nevada does have a clause excluding those busted for sales of any sort. but there are a few i know of who have gotten around it using their doctor and having him/her write a note of 'special circunstances' to the dept of agriculture...they make the final determination. go figure...a rapist or murderer can get a license (once they're free of course) w/o probs while someone who turned another onto a few seeds, or even passed a joint could be excluded!

It depends what class felony that falls under , for example I have a class C felony charge of manufacture of marijuana in my past but I was still able to get my med card . If it was a class a or b felony I would have been denied the card . I'm not sure what class trafficking falls under , could be shit out of luck . Not sure what the rules are in California
