Benefits of Having a Boston Medical Marijuana Card
Access to safe & tested medicine
For patients utilizing cannabis as a medicinal treatment, getting their hands on it from regulated dispensaries ensures that their medication is safe and has been rigorously evaluated for quality and safety.
Save on taxes
Purchasing medical marijuana in Massachusetts results in substantial tax savings over recreational purchases because it is exempt from the state excise tax (10.75%), standard sales tax (6.25%), and optional local tax of up to 3%.
Expert medical guidance
If you have a medical card, you can get in contact with caregivers and medical professionals who are familiar with cannabis. On product selection, dosage, and preventing possible drug interactions, they can provide tailored guidance.
Higher possession limits
Medical patients may purchase up to 10 ounces of cannabis within a 60-day period, with the possibility of larger quantities if prescribed by a healthcare professional. Recreational regulations allow up to one ounce in public and 10 ounces at home.
Higher cultivation limits
Massachusetts medical cardholders are permitted to grow up to 12 flowering and 12 vegetative cannabis plants for personal use at home (12 total plants per household), as opposed to the six plants per household that recreational users are allowed to grow.
Out-of-state recognition
Travel in peace of mind because Massachusetts medical marijuana cards are accepted in states that have reciprocity for medical cannabis, providing patients who are on the go with flexibility.
