What is a Medical Marijuana Identification Card (MMIC)?

Medical marijuana identification card is the way many states and localities that have legalized medicinal cannabis programs, have dealt with ensuring the safety and access to medicinal cannabis of patients who are registered within their system. For example, California which has the largest number of medical cannabis patients in the United States, once you have the letter from your physician, that does not entitle you to go and buy medicinal cannabis. You have to first go to The Health Department in New York City or County, and based on that letter and other information, they will then issue you an identification card. And it is that identification card which allows you to gain access and purchase medicinal cannabis.
