This is yet another reason why virtual ID cards are superior: In the event that the card data is compromised, the old virtual ID can be revoked and a new virtual ID can be issued. Virtual ID cards can also have a much shorter duration, because the cost of rotating it is minimal. For example, California's virtual driver licenses rotate each 30 days.

Most of this seems very serious and concerning, but...
Nexus also claimed to provide scans of marijuana dispensary cards
What could anyone possibly do with that? It costs like $50 to get one in California, not sure about other states.
Legal weed in CA now dawg. No dispensary card needed
Less taxes in most places if you have a med card. Financially sensible if you buy a certain amount per year.
