ID cards for medical pot users to be issued
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
A year after adopting an ordinance to provide medical marijuana users with identification cards, the county will begin issuing the state-mandated cards June 1, the board decided Tuesday.
Supervisor Mike Antonovich opposed the move.
The application fee for county residents will be $153, or $76.50 for Medi-Cal recipients. Medical marijuana users must present a doctor’s written recommendation to obtain the drug, and must apply to the Department of Public Health.
