I've known for a long time that war with China would be coming at some point, we're getting closer to it all the time. Nobody had to tell me, just look around. They already own a good piece of our *ss here and for years they've been poisoning us with a bunch of crap that turns people into what our population is riddled with, either a bunch of LGBTQ+ weirdos, people who might as well share the label, or people who have developed all kinds of illnesses that take them out of the fight. Give it a few more years and there won't be enough people here with any kind of will to fight left to defend this country, they'll all be sitting back feeling entitled and like nobody can touch them because that's the nature of the social environment we live in now, which has been pushed by people trying to destroy this country. They'll have big surprise when there's a big red flag planted in their yard and they're being loaded up into train cars bound for hard labor camps or worse.
Oh, and in response to the original post, don't do it. Once you register for that card you're screwed if you want to have/buy firearms, and God knows what else could potentially become a problem. Years back, when medicinal use was first legalized here, I knew people who were flocking to get that card, not me. I saw no reason to out myself to the government. I have multiple sclerosis and have grown my own for years, I figured if there ever was a problem they'd have a real fun time making me a poster boy on the issue. We have recreational laws here now, been a long time coming. I still grow my own though, even if it is a struggle, dispensary weed sucks!
