Why Get a Medical Marijuana Card in a Recreational State?

As of December 2018, Massachusetts has a new recreational marijuana program. Dispensaries began to sell cannabis products in November 2018. We recommend patients still get a medical card because of factors such as:

• Dispensary Availability: With the program in its infancy, only a few dispensaries can sell recreational marijuana. You can find many more medical dispensaries than retail stores.
• Waived Taxes: Recreational customers pay an additional 17 percent in excise taxes when they buy marijuana. Registered patients pay no taxes.
• Payment Options: Most medical dispensaries can take payment cards. Meanwhile, recreational transactions can only involve cash.
• Age Limits: Patients under 21 need to register with the medical marijuana program to get medicine. Recreational dispensaries accept purchases from people 21 and older only.
