WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A MEDICAL CARD?
A medical card is like your identification card.
It is issued by a state-authorized medical
professional who accesses your medical history
and present condition, reviews it and then gives
you a medical marijuana card or MMJ
recommendation for using it. Once you own a
medical card, it stands as proof that you are a
medical marijuana consumer who is registered with
the state. Remember that you can get a medical
card only if your condition is one of the many
medical conditions qualified by the state. For
example, in California, the following medical
conditions and symptoms are eligible for a
medical card.
Any medical condition that can risk your mental
and physical health if left untreated or if a
medical condition severely affects your major
life activities.

How Does a Medical Card Help in Accessing Cannabis
TAX EXEMPTIONS
LESS FINANCIAL BURDEN
LEGAL SECURITY
Just like every other medication, cannabis is
also subjected to all the state taxes. These
additions can increase your final bill
significantly. A recreational cannabis consumer
has to pay all the amount with every purchase.
But if you are a medical cannabis consumer, you
will be exempted from paying the sales and use
tax on cannabis
From growing and sale to consumption, everything
related to cannabis is regulated as per the
marijuana laws of the state. And every state has
its own set of marijuana laws. So there are many
rules and restrictions that have to be followed
when using medical cannabis or you could face
legal troubles
Managing a lifelong medical condition can be
expensive. Regular dosage and restocking can
increase your monthly bills. And using cannabis
as a medication isnt cheap either. But a medical
cannabis card can help reduce the financial
burden from your shoulders.

AGE LIMIT
ADVANTAGES OVER RECREATIONAL CANNABIS
LEVERAGE IN LEGAL LIMITATIONS
POSSESSION LIMIT
In the state of California, anyone above the age
of 21 years can legally consume cannabis. But if
you are a medical patient who is younger than 21
years, you can still use cannabis with a medical
card because the age limit for medical cannabis
is 18 years. In fact, if you are younger than 18
and need cannabis as a medication, you can
consult a doctor for a recommendation and get
yourself a caregiver to use medical cannabis.
Both recreational and medical cannabis are
subjected to certain limitations. And medical
cannabis enjoys an advantage here as well.
If you are a medical cannabis consumer, you can
legally possess up to 8 ounces of cannabis and
2000mg of THC per packet. For a recreational
consumer. The limitation is 1 ounce and 1000mg
respectively.
As we discussed already, only a medical card can
help you make 28 savings on cannabis purchase.
But thats not all, here are few other advantages
that give you an upper hand over recreational
cannabis consumers.

Imagine going for cannabis restock in your
backyard. You can do that by growing your own
cannabis at home. If you have a medical card and
need to grow your own cannabis, you have the
freedom to do so. In fact, you can even apply for
a growers license and grow up to 100 square feet
of cannabis at your home. If you wish to
experience unlimited access to cannabis and money
savings, consider having your own cannabis
plants.  If your medical condition can find
relief with cannabis, make a smarter choice and
get a medical cannabis card. Along with easing
your health and improving your quality of life,
you will be able to enjoy all the benefits that
the state government provides to medical cannabis
consumers.
