Hi All - I too am a CA MedCard Holder and have been for about 6 months now.
I originally went to a cannabis friendly clinic in San Diego; Although I was able to receive a rec and ID card from the doctor, the fact that the dispensaries were shut down still remains, so, in order to actually acquire your meds, you have to travel further north to LA region where dispensaries can exist and operate in the open. There are also delivery services that will service approved patients.
It is interesting to see how the different counties handle state law. Technically, San Diego is a "conservative" city, therefore, the local govt there has enough krony power to basically kick state laws to the curb; Unfortunately, that's the world we live in. I do have to say that the movement seems to be making progress so, onward, through the fog. :-)
