Honestly.... I just went to court and was looking at more charges than that last year and i had my card when i got busted.... My lawyer told me i was able to still smoke with a legitimate reason from a physician, which was no problem... Ended up my lawyer knew the DA and she got 3 felonies dropped to 1 misdemeanor with no probation or anything, just a simple fine. Hope that helps.... LEGIT physicians note will get you what you want, hopefully. Paying for a lawyer is worth it bro unless the only thing you're worried about is not being able to smoke...
