If you have a MMJ card in one state...

...can you use it in another? I mean, if I go to Cali or Colorado (which we do twice a year) can I simply walk into a dispensary and show my RI card? I know in RI, other cards are good- like if you got stopped or something. But we don't have dispensaries yet, so I am not sure how that works.

Probably is different for each state- now that I think about it. Time for more Pineapple, then a cookie and Red Sox.

The medical use provisions in Alaska do not include reciprocity provisions protecting visitors from other medical use states.

Arizona

Maine
RECIPROCITY: Yes. Authorizes visiting qualifying patient with valid registry identification card (or its equivalent), to engage in conduct authorized for the registered patient (the medical use of marijuana) for 30 days after entering the State, without having to obtain a Maine registry identification card. Visiting qualifying patients are not authorized to obtain in Maine marijuana for medical use. Me. Rev. Stat. Tit. 22, 2423-D (2010).

The Oregon law does not include a reciprocity provision.

These out of state patients are required to obtain a recommendation for the medical use of marijuana from an Oregon licensed physician. State v. Berringer, 229 P3d 615 (2010).

Rhode Island
RECIPROCITY: Yes. Authorizes a patient with a debilitating medical condition, with a registry identification card (or its equivalent), to engage in the medical use of marijuana. Also authorizes a person to assist with the medical use of marijuana by a patient with a debilitating medical condition. R.I. Gen. Laws 21-28.6-4(k) (2006).

Wow, too bad CO and CA don't allow for it. I would love to go skiing and hit up Breckenridge dispensaries. I was also planning g to go to Sann Fran andnwas hoping to use dispensaries there.

the programs in maine and montana impress me. Oregon's program seems fairly awesome considering the history.

I think by leading the pack ca/co had to learn a lot along the way (and really, oregon had it earlier, but it was never really big news till cali).
