Why Purchase a Medical Card?

L

Increased Possession Limits

Medical cannabis card holders are allowed to purchase, carry, and own larger quantities of marijuana than recreational users. In some states, medical card holders are allowed to grow at home.

Legal protection of Consumption

With a medical card, your ability to purchase, store, and consume cannabis is legally protected, as long as you buy from a licensed dispensary.

Save Money on Medical Cannabis

Most states have massive taxes on marijuana products. Medical card holders are exempt from most of those taxes.

Greater Product Accessibility

Medical cannabis card holders get access to a wider range of products. Choose from more diverse ratios of cannabinoids such as CBD, CBG, and CBN, which can help reduce inflammation.

Cannabis Tourism

Your medical card may be accepted in many other states. This allows you to access many new products, new strains, and get your medicine while traveling.

Access for 18-20 Year-Olds

If you are 18 years of age or older, you don’t have to wait to get access to medical marijuana. Parental consent is not required. Recreational users must be 21 or older.
