Find one of the shady "doctors" on line. Do a zoom consultation and tell them you're afraid of heights or you have hiccups or some shit, pay them. Card shows up in the mail a week or so later

I get it's easy for a script. Can cops give me a DUI just for having one? And is it true I can't keep my license to carry?

Law Enforcement in PA does not have access to the DOH database of cannabis card holders. The DOH will not share that information with them it is protected info, the only way the cops will know is if you tell them or they see your weed card. I just don’t keep mine anywhere near my license. As for concealed carry, I wouldn’t none of the law around it is settled yet.

Yes, you can get a DUI even if you aren't high. If a cop suspects you could be, aka sees your med card at a traffic stop or you are in an accident, they can drug test you. THC can be in your system days to weeks after last use, depending on how often you use it. State law currently allows them to charge you with a DUI, despite no proof of current intoxication.

That said, I've had my card for going on 4 years without an issue.

Yes for DUI if you show your card to the officer (generally shouldn't do that, but could see edge situations in which one might choose to, such as being caught with cannabis during a stop) and Yes true for the license to carry.

Worse, can't even legally possess a gun at all under federal law. The reply below is incorrect. While the state legislature can debate state law regarding concealed carry, that doesn't change federal law, which doesn't permit possessing a gun at all.

Many will point out police can't easily access the cannabis card database. Correct. However, if one is caught in a situation involving a firearm, such as using in self-defense or the firearm is stolen and used in a crime by someone else, the issue could come up. Admittedly the risk is small, but very real. Federal law needs to be changed. Until then it's legally one or the other. Card or gun.

Cops could get a warrant to get the cannabis database info.

I believe the license to carry issue is being debated on in the legislature now.

I feel even a half decent lawyer could get you out of a thc DUI. They aren't going to blood test you for every little traffic violation

The state can’t do jack shit about the license to carry issue. The problem there is with federal law. The best the state can do is say they’re going to ignore it, but you’d still be breaking the law regardless, and the fed could still theoretically come after all those people (though that’s incredibly unlikely).
