I understand that much, but I think you can see where possession of such a card would hurt one's credibility in a court room situation, and most likely cause a search in the event of a traffic stop. I just am uncomfortable with anyone looking down on people because they use recreational drugs, particularly if they are legalized.

That may be true, but these forms of ID are not used to track people's purchases. I really do not like the idea of any person or entity tracking me, my movements or my purchases. I am not one for government conspiracies, in fact I have more faith in the government than most, but I really like my privacy and really just appreciate the ability to do what I want, enjoy myself and protect my family and property.
