Question About Smoking "In Public"

Can the cops still bust me if I toke in public - discreetly let's say - like in an alley or somewhere off the beaten path - if I have my doctor's recommendation on me?

Additionally, does the state issued ID card give you more protection (in terms of blazing "in public") then just the doctor's recommendation, or is it just flat-out illegal to smoke marijuana in public period in California - even if you're a documented (of either kind) patient?

I wonder if it's like Amsterdam where it's permitted to smoke indoors but not outdoors out in public.

      I thought you got the card. You just got the doctors recommendation and still need to go to the Patient ID center? Either is fine. I like the card. It's like a drivers license.

      It's not legal to smoke outdoors. But if you have it on you and are discreet it shouldnt be a big deal. It's low priority I think. Lots of people smoke in public here. But you wouldnt be obvious with a beer or bottle around cops. So just act like you would if you were drinking in public. Discreet. And if youre wrecked they will still get you for public intoxication if youre making a scene. Somehow I think you can probably maintain and be fine man. Me on the other hand? They'd be coming at me with a 5150 jacket. lol
