It seems like a waste for me to smoke in Cali yet have to rely on my street dealers. I've been thinking about getting my med card for a while..
Are there any negatives that I should be aware about? How come everyone doesn't get one?

First off, I highly advise you to get a medical card. Think of it as insurance for if you ever get busted. That card, $60 for the first year, and $40 a year after that will cost far less than a lawyer, trial costs, bail, etc would.
Second, I don't really advise buying from the clubs. I've been to clubs in a few cities across So Cal and to be honest, the prices are usually pretty bad. A lot of clubs will try to sell grams for $20, or $60 for a 3.5 eighth and so on. If you know a good dealer (especially if you know someone who sells to the club) you can get everything they offer for literally half the cost. I smoke super dank and I wouldn't think about paying more than $10 a gram for it.
Negatives? None so far. It's not like jobs will find out you have in the hiring process.
You're just one of the lucky ones that have an amazing connection. I can't complain myself, because I know super dank $45 eighths aren't exactly easy to come by.
My street guy does me justice. I'd just really like to go to a hash bar and see what it's like.
Hash bars are sort of cool, but way overpriced. The one on Venice Beach, for example, charges $14 for .1 grams of hash, plus a $2 bong rental fee. It is lit by scantily clad super-hot women with a titanium nail and a glass stick, but a buddy of mine has a hash nail anyway. If you think about it, you're paying $140 a gram for the hash plus $2 to rent, and a tip for the girl. Totally a one-off experience.

b/c not everyone smokes pot. you do get registered in a national database and you must maintain that this is for medicinal purposes... you also cannot smoke and drive still. Other than that, there is no downside.
