Why a DHS card?
While the DHS card and program is completely voluntary, it is further proof for any official that not only are you complying with the State laws, but you are voluntarily working in collaboration with the State within and above the necessary requirements; thus validating your patient status more firmly. This is because the card also contains a unique, ultra patented, anti-forgery system, making this card nearly impossible to duplicate. Also, a DHS card essentially vouches for both your medical marijuana recommendation AND your CA State ID, which means it is sufficient just to carry and present your DHS card alone!
