& you're caught in posession in Louisiana which has the most IGNORANT posession laws, do you go to jail in Louisiana EVEN if you have a license to use marijuana for my condition in the state of Colorado? Oops I think I gave myself away. Maybe I just better not go to Mardi Gras? Lol.

Yes. Colorado has no right to license substances for use in other states, and they shouldn't.
Unfortunately, they currently have no right to legally license it in their own state either and feds can still bust you due to the "war on drugs" and the overstepping federal government. You can speak out. Vote Ron Paul in your primaries and spread the word. :)

You'd go to jail for possesing marijuana in Colorado, as well.
The state law just means you won't be arrested by the local or the state police and you won't be tried in a local or state court. If federal agents arrested you for some reason, you'd be tried in a federal court (even if the federal court happens to be located in Colorado) and serve your time in a federal prison instead of a state prison.
I'd probably say my attitude about marijuana laws is total apathy, but the rationale for the US Supreme Court ruling seemed pretty thin to me. The odd thing was seeing the conservative wing defend legalizing marijuana while the liberal wing condemned the law - well, except for Scalia - maybe seeing Scalia, Stevens, and Ginsberg argue the same side was even more shocking.
sanchito - The federal government has no business messing in state laws UNLESS they affect interstate commerce. To justify the federal laws taking precedent over California's laws required the federal government to explain how allowing marijuana grown in California and used for medicinal purposes by California residents while in the state of California affected interstate commerce. (This case and the ruling on an imminent domain case were extremely puzzling rulings in the same year).
The legal way for the federal government to control state laws would have been to tie federal grants to the states upon meeting some criteria, such as not legalizing marijuana for medicinal use. That way it's still the state's choice to exercise their rights to their own laws or to take the federal money. (Most take the federal money, which is how you wound up with a national 55 mph speed limit for many years).
I do have to admit the civil war effectively put an end to the states' rights to secede. The right to secede was pretty much a given up until the civil war and the threat of secession was used successfully by a few states to get what they wanted.

Yes because it is a state, not federal law. until it becomes legal in all states and the feds agree, people with medical marijuana are going to have opposition and possibly go to jail from using their medicine. It makes no sense but that's the way it is now.

Yes you do.
And since the Civil War made it clear that Federal law trumps state law, EVEN in Colorado you can be charged. States can add to law not take away from it and Federal law states that pot is Illegal in every state.

If these two states do not have reciprocity of the laws, then If I were you, I would definitely stay home, or leave the maijo behind. I thought marujuana was illegal according to federal laws. Hmm?
Perhaps there is some legal form of drug that may be recommended for your condition.

Sorry, but the card, for the most part, won't fly outside of Colorado. You have to play by each state's rules.
If I came across you and your card in California and I were able to verify it, you'd walk with your weed..umm..medicine.
Be careful.

Yes, you will be charged in another state, even if you have a permit in California. Nobody wants you driving on their highways in a condition that is less than tolerable.
