Here's the dilemma in getting my 'card'. [View all]

I have recently been given a diagnosis of PTSD that is manifesting itself in a pretty significant anxiety disorder. My APN said if I apply for my cannabis card, she won't renew my Rx for my anti anxiety medication. Now, I can drive after taking the tablet - which is good since I have to take it before any medical appointments (historically, and for good reason, one of my big anxiety triggers), but I should NOT drive after taking cannabis.

HOWEVER, my 'recreational' use of cannabis gummies/RSO doesn't factor in, at all.

Fortunately, I get a veteran's discount at my new cannabis store, but seriously, for someone with zero history of abuse, this just seems so strange.

So, my sneaky question is, are cannabis cards entered in the system in a way that they would flag certain prescriptions?
