What are the legal protections?

A statewide registry keeps track of those who have been issued Medical Marijuana cards so that you will not be charged as a criminal for possession or cultivation as long as it is within the law. 

What is the registration process?

Registering for the state's database is mandatory. If caught in possession of Marijuana and you are not registered, you can be charged criminally even if you can prove that you have a qualifying medical condition. 

Sharing your medically approved Marijuana or Medical Marijuana card with others could bring criminal charges.
