I'm also pretty sure a doctor's note by itself doesn't do shit. You have to use the doctor's note to get registered in the state system and get a card.

I have this information due to numerous sources. Many are objecting to using the state ID card program since it would land them in a database that could in theory be subpoenaed by the Federal Government.
When I picked up my official card shortly after it was re-instated by California. My card number was remarkably low. I know the numbers are sequential as well due to my fiance getting her care giver card. Her number was one digit higher. At the end of December I brought in someone I know who was relying on the doctors prescription only. His card number was only 37 digits higher than mine and 36 higher than my fiances. Months and months have passed since we got ours and he got his.
I would be highly interested to know what your number is. As you would know it provides zero information about you to anyone that looks it up in the public data base.
You may also understand the grey areas regarding clinics as well as how they must operate to remain even quasi legal. There is a crap load of paperwork required, just the right amount of product weighed against your total number of registered patients. With of course no price mark ups beyond the actual cost of production, labor costs is debatable and is supposed to be covered by co-oping the work load among the patients. Another major contention is that they placed a limit on the number of patients a single care giver can have. Any infractions in any of this can easily lead to a major yet unpopular bust.
They also have assorted people and organizations that are attempting to use other state laws to assist in closing clinics done. This is being done through assorted "grass roots movements" with questionable funding who are attempting to enact zoning laws to keep them away from basically everything.
