This is likely the thought process for millions of Americans out there who are on the fence about whether to get a medical marijuana card in their state or not. However, there are actually some very beneficial reasons for why someone may want to get a medical marijuana card even though recreational weed is legal and they are over the age of 21. Today, we are going to talk about everything related to this topic. It is worth mentioning, even though it’s pretty obvious, that this article really only applies to people who are living in states that have legalized both medical and recreational marijuana. There are not too many states that have legalized recreational cannabis, so there is a good chance that you are not living in one. However, hopefully, we will begin to see more and more states aim to legalize this within the next few years. After all, recreational programs are doing great in other states that have legalized it, so it just makes sense.

So when it comes to getting a medical marijuana card, there are a few things to keep in mind. One of the biggest benefits of getting your medical marijuana card instead of just buying your weed recreationally is that you have access to better dispensaries and products. It is true that there are not a whole lot of recreational dispensaries opening up right now, and medical dispensaries are generally much easier to find. Also, some states do not have taxes on the medical marijuana industry but do on the recreational side.

So if you are wanting to pay less taxes and save money on your weed in the long run, then using medical marijuana might be right for you. Another thing to keep in mind is that if you are planning to use cannabis to actually treat a condition or manage symptoms, it may be best to consult a doctor first in order to determine a health plan with medical marijuana. You could decide to do it all on your own, but it may be helpful to get a doctor’s perspective on things, especially with how complicated the world of marijuana can seem to new users. Seeing a doctor before buying marijuana will ensure that you know what conditions need to be treated, and it will allow you to buy the right potency, strain, and product that you need for your cannabis.

Also, it is worth noting that, in the event of another covid lockdown or something like that, medical marijuana dispensaries are considered essential services. This means that you can always have access to using cannabis in the event that other recreational dispensaries close down. These are some of the reasons for why you should be using a medical marijiuana card!
