Medical Marijuana Identification Card

Program in Kings County

The Medical Marijuana Identification Card Program (MMIC) went into effect in Kings County in October, 2008. MMIC was established by the State of California following the passage of Senate Bill 420, requiring counties to offer a voluntary Medical Marijuana Identification Card.

Patients may use the identification card as evidence that they have received a recommendation from their physician to use marijuana for medicinal purposes.

SB 420 does not protect patients from Federal prosecution for possession of marijuana.
