false sense of security mostly....why do you ask?
it's the same reason so many people are concerned over the movements of small bits of paper called promissory notes, when the bits of paper involved could care less...
I would have thought it was obvious...

I was robbed. Some kids climbed into a fourth story window and took my stash and most all of my plants.
I called the cops. They politely showed up and greeted me and then proceeded to document every item that was missing, including details of each plant, the color of the pots they were in, quantity of pot stolen... They took pictures and fingerprinted, discreetly asked the neighbors if they had seen anything and then affirmed me that they would get me back my medicine if they found the brats.
I just with I had renters insurance - with a police report (which documented the value of that was stolen) I could have been handsomely reimbursed.
Pretty good reason to have a card in my opinion.
/e I didn't see that this was in the Alaska forum

i got a card its great its worth every penny 
and saved me from being arrested quite a few times the pigs get so angry when they can't arrest you and give back your weed 
and saved me from being arrested quite a few times the pigs get so angry when they can't arrest you and give back your weed I put this in the Alaska forum because our laws are considerably different. We are allowed 24 plants per household. With the MMJ card we are only allowed 6.
I was hoping for some posts from folks who understand our laws, not some opinion based on watching Tv.
Thanks anyway guys.

What insurance company is going to honor a claim for stolen marijuana, considering it's a Federal offense? A man in Colorado with a medical card filed for stolen plants and he was paid the maximum of $500 per plant, under an ornamental bushes heading. I'm surprised though, as most will deny coverage; claiming you are breaking federal laws. You may have to take them to court. In the case of the Colorado man, he was chronically ill, not a California carrier with allergies.

WHAT? are you saying weed is legal for recreational use in alaska and you can grow 24 plants??..but if you are medically ill you can only grow 6?? LOL bullshit
That's the law. The only reason I can see to get the mmj card is for transportation. It's a screwy law. 24 plants are covered under by an Alaska Supreme Court case as Right to Privacy. You can grow 24 plants but you can't possess over 1/4 lb. You can't be in possession outside of your home without risking a $50 citation. Over a 1/4 lb is a felony for some reason. Keep it under a qp and you are fine.

Frankly, it isn't that easy to get a MMJ card in AK. I don't know any doctors that do, though I'm sure there are a few. Because of the very robust privacy laws in the state, the incentive isn't there unless dispensaries are allowed.

This is utter bullshit. While illegal to carry openly, law enforcement's maximum penalty is a citation similar to a speeding ticket. It's $50 for less than an oz and a little bit more if you have an oz to 4 oz. Over 4 oz will have you carted off to jail.
Ok well there you go thats why you need your card then. I seen on cops in Alaska. The one cop said they can have it in the home but once they leave there home with it, then it becomes our problem he said. Maybe thats just how he feels about it but thats what the man said. And this cop also let the guy go he had a 1/4 on him.

There idea is that through awareness of the gray areas and immaculate conception laws that you are arguing, it will become obvious that the laws are unjust and need reform.
