Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
What does California law and federal law say relative to shipping medical marijuana in California from one medical-marijuana-patient (MMP) to another MMP, still within the boraders of CA, but in a different city-i.e. intrastate transfer from and to individuals who are legally allowed to posses said marijuana in the state of California?

Nice try. That could be charged by federal prosecutors as felony transportation.
CA has an actual official medical marijuana card issued upon doctors certification of medical need, allowing small quantity possession. Local dispensaries will sell you a card, which is not CA official, but both are frequently accepted by local police to avoid an arrest for small quantity possession. Neither is honored by the feds. Those cards are a Politically Correct fiction in California only, not binding upon federal law enforcement or courts.
