If you are an adult under the age of 21, the state of California requires that you have a medical marijuana recommendation to purchase, consume, possess, or cultivate cannabis legally. We can all agree that many adults between the ages of 18-20 need medical marijuana to treat their symptoms. Having a medical marijuana recommendation is not just a massive benefit to those individuals; it is required. Even though California legalized recreational cannabis at the state level, local jurisdictions (counties and cities) have the flexibility to set their own laws. For example, in Napa, CA, only medical cannabis is legal even though California legalized recreational cannabis. Well, if you have your medical marijuana recommendation, there is nothing to be confused about because you will have access to every single dispensary in California. You will access the recreational dispensaries like everyone else, but you will also gain access to medical-only dispensaries, which can have exclusive products and lower prices. There are stringent laws for the amount of recreational cannabis someone can purchase, possess, and cultivate in California. However, these amounts are increased for medical marijuana users because medical marijuana patients often need more cannabis to treat their symptoms effectively.

For example, a recreational marijuana user can only purchase one ounce of cannabis per day, while a medical marijuana patient can purchase up to eight ounces of cannabis per day. A medical marijuana recommendation saves you money because medical marijuana is generally lower priced than recreational cannabis. There are also many taxes associated with recreational cannabis, including excise taxes, sales tax, and local taxes. Medical marijuana dispensaries tend to have lower taxes than their recreational counterparts. This tax savings can amount to thousands of dollars per year, depending on how much you smoke or use. Recreational cannabis manufacturers and dispensaries have to follow strict laws regarding potency limits. However, these potency limits are increased for medical marijuana. The limit increase makes sense because medical marijuana patients often need more potent cannabis products to treat their symptoms effectively. For example, in California, recreational cannabis topicals (lotion) are capped at a 1000mg THC limit. Medical marijuana topicals (cream), on the other hand, have a 2000mg THC limit.

California has stronger legal protections for those with their medical marijuana recommendation than recreational users. For example, Prop 215 provides additional protections for medical marijuana patients who possess and cultivate cannabis. Please consult with your attorney if you have a specific legal question.
