Stanislaus One of Dozen Without a Card Program

A medical marijuana identification card program will come before the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors sometime in the next few months. It's a program that has been in the works for more than 2 1/2 years.

Stanislaus is one of just 12 of the state's 58 counties that does not already have an identification card program, which is required by state law.
