People these days are beginning to look back at their roots and a simpler life. Herbal medicine is very much ordinary, hence the state-level legalization of medical marijuana in 16 states; it’s becoming commonplace more and more as time goes on.
However, each of those 16 states has it’s own laws and an Oregon patient’s marijuana prescription cannot be filled anywhere else unless a particular state honors Oregon prescriptions. For instance, Colorado honors prescription cards from Oregon, but California and Washington don’t. It’s a federal offense to take marijuana across a state line, especially into a state where it’s still illegal.
Traveling With Marijuana is NOT Recommended
Driving under the influence can kill people, so get someone else to drive or wait until reaching the destination to medicate. Be aware that many insurances won’t pay if marijuana is found at a wreck scene. Keep to designated medicating areas that can be found online.
If children are in the car and it gets pulled over, many states now have a law that requires them to take the car from people suspected of drug trafficking (taking it across state lines). If they take the car, well, now the passengers are left without a ride home – and if the car belongs to the driver, who is not the person with the medical marijuana, that‘ll really upset him or her to have their car taken away.
Also, the driving record takes a serious hit; child endangerment is a pretty ugly charge and they take away the children, too.
Just don’t try it, it’s too costly in so many ways.
