Are you wondering why you should register for a medical marijuana card when there are other avenues you could take to receive alternative treatments? Let’s examine some of the benefits of being a registered medical marijuana card carrier.
Safe shopping for adult and minor patients
Adults 21 years of age or older can visit a dispensary and use their government-issued ID to purchase marijuana legally. While this is great for adult medical marijuana patients, what about minors who’ve been cleared by their doctors to receive medical cannabis as an alternative treatment for their medical illnesses? A medical marijuana card makes it so that adults and minors, those that are under the age of 21, can safely and legally purchase marijuana for treatment at licensed dispensaries. Florida is one of 29 states with medical marijuana programs in place that allow minors to be card carriers and gain access to medical cannabis, with the assistance of a caregiver, of course.
Cost-effective purchasing of marijuana products
Purchasing medical marijuana as a medical marijuana cardholder can allow you to buy your products at lower costs and with less taxation. Although medical cannabis is legal in Florida, it is not a treatment method that’s covered by your insurance. For those patients requiring their medical cannabis for the treatment of their ailments, this can be a costly burden or even a hurdle for those who can’t afford to pay out-of-pocket for cannabis medicine. Obtaining your medical marijuana card can alleviate some of the additional costs to purchasing cannabis through a dispensary making your marijuana medicine more affordable.
Access to cannabis with higher potency levels
Recreational use dispensaries have potency level limits they have to abide by to stay within their legal realms. However, medical marijuana patients may need a stronger dosage of cannabis for relief from their medical issues. Medical marijuana dispensaries have a little more freedom with the potency levels of marijuana they carry, and being a medical marijuana cardholder allows you access to these high-strength strains of cannabis.
Grow cannabis from the comfort of your home
While possessing a medical marijuana card gets you in the door to safely purchase your cannabis from a dispensary, it also allows you the ability to grow your own cannabis from the comfort of your home. Cultivating cannabis yourself has its perks. While it may seem a little costly upfront, it can actually save you a lot of money down the road, even with the lowered cost and tax break offered to cardholders who purchase through a dispensary. Plus, you have complete control over the strain, quality, and quantity of cannabis you grow meaning you know exactly what you’re getting in each use.
Legal protection within Florida
While the federal government continues playing tennis with the decision to legalize or not to legalize marijuana for medical and/or recreational use across our nation — causing laws to vary from state-to-state — having a Florida State Medical Marijuana Card provides you with legal protection for your medical cannabis within the state of Florida. Being in possession of marijuana without your medical marijuana card is illegal and could lead to some jail time. For example, in Florida, if you are caught with 20 grams or less of marijuana, that’s considered a misdemeanor with a fine of up to $1000. For the amount you pay for the fine, you could essentially grow your own marijuana at home, if you have your medical marijuana card. Following the law and registering for your medical marijuana card means that you have legal protection to grow and travel with your cannabis safely throughout the state of Florida.
