Medical Cannabis Card in Illinois, Why?Β 

 Even if you reside in a place where marijuana is legal for recreational use, there are several benefits to becoming a medical marijuana card holder...

Reduced Restrictions

In most states, recreational cannabis is only available to patients over the age of 21 and is subject to tight possession restrictions. Patient's that use medicinal marijuana have less limitations and have more ability to get their medicine in larger amounts.

Increased Options

The ability to shop at both medicinal and adult-use dispensaries is granted to those who have a valid medical marijuana card. Increased access means more items to pick from, as well as greater flexibility to compare prices and locate the greatest offers on the market.

Larger Scale Protection

Employers, landlords, and family courts are nonetheless permitted to discriminate against cannabis users in those jurisdictions that allow recreational use. Obtaining a medical marijuana certification provides you with legal documents indicating that your marijuana usage is medically necessary. In many states, this may shield you from being subjected to discriminatory or punitive treatment.

Lower Pricing

When purchasing medicinal marijuana, you will not be subject to the same sales or excise taxes that are levied on recreational marijuana purchasers. MJ Card holders save at minimum 10% or more on every transaction by becoming a legal card holder in their state.!
