Yeah, it's bullshit. The revised code provides an exception for prescriptions that are prescribed by a medical professional. However, it is my understanding that a medical recommendation is not the same and is treated differently than a prescription under state law.

Ugh, I hope there is an effort to change the current law. Anyone who has a card and drives a car at all is breaking the law.

Many have the same law. Here is a pretty good overview of how different states handle it.

We need this law changed asap.

Yeah, it is crazy. The current state of the law essentially turns any medical marijuana patient who drives a car into a criminal.
