Cali is a good state. It might be expensive, but it's worth it. My buddy was pulled over for speeding, chp looked through his "kit" that was out on the seat. Had a couple 1/4's, papers, grinder and lighter. He showed him his med card. Cop let him off with a warning on the speeding and gave him his herb back. And yes, the weather is amazing here.
CHP is hit or miss man i wouldnt generalize that you would get that treatment every time...ive had CHP get me after hotboxing and tear apart the car...and ive had them not do anything....
but legally...according to a dickhead CHP office who pulled over my brother...the freeways are federal proprety and they dont follow state law...i had a CHP tell me he didnt give a shit about my medical paperwork and to go back to oaksterdam.......while in the urban areas CHP is generally chiller once you get out into the sticks like solano county they are definately looking for people smuggling those outdoor pounds...
but its better than being in kentucky where having a small joint will send you to prison....but please people its not THAT SAFE in california you still need to exercise basic security precautions....better medical laws yes, but having the attitude that anything flies out here could get you caught up...
