Save money all year long

• Consumers in recreational markets pay excise taxes that range can range from 10%-36%.
• With your medical card, in most states, you only pay sales tax which is usually well under 10%.
• Having your medical card could effectively save you thousands of dollars throughout the year.

Buy more, possess more, grow more

• Each medical cannabis state governs its own program differently. But in some, such as Colorado and Washington, medical patients are permitted to grow, possess, and purchase more cannabis than recreational users.

Lower age restrictions

• In some states, you need to be 18 years of age to be eligible for a medical card. However, recreational states mandate that users be a minimum of 21 years old. Minors who use cannabis for medical purposes need to be under the care of a designated caregiver who is at least 18 years old.

Exclusive dispensary access

• There is a difference between adult-use and medical cannabis dispensaries. Even in states with active recreational/adult-use, exclusive medical cannabis dispensaries exist that are available only to people that hold a medical card in that state.
