Cannabis card

Cannabis will still be illegal, so I'm not really sure what the idea behind this card is. It doesn't have any official recognition does it? So it's just something you show to a police officer and he would look at it and wonder "what is this", and maybe if you are really lucky he'll have pity on you and let you off with a warning.

But if you only had a small amount for personal use then you'd probably get off with a warning anyway. The police aren't really bothered about enforcing the law on people who aren't dealing.

Also could someone explain to me why autistic people need cannabis? I'm not saying they don't, I'm just curious what the reason is. Perhaps helping with anxiety/depression and sociability?

I don't think it's specifically for autism because it'd be like suggesting they could treat a neurotype.  However, it IS very relaxing and I use it for anxiety.  Autistic anxiety, I would say, which for me can be off the scale.  

I'm not saying that all autistic people are necessarily anxious.  But I do find that the effects of living as a minority where our needs are overlooked or minimised and where various traumas can easily accrue from childhood onwards, it's entirely understandable that many of us are pushed towards anxiety.
