Benefits of Having a Cambridge Medical Marijuana Card
Access to safe & tested medicine
Purchasing cannabis from regulated dispensaries gives patients who use it for medical purposes the assurance that their medication is safe and has undergone extensive quality and safety testing.
Save on taxes
Because medical marijuana is exempt from the regular sales tax (6.25%), the state excise tax (10.75%), and optional local taxes of up to 3%, buying it for medical purposes in Massachusetts offers significant tax savings over recreational purchases.
Expert medical guidance
You can communicate with caregivers and medical professionals who are knowledgeable about cannabis if you have a medical card. They can offer comprehensive advice on product selection, dosage, and avoiding potential drug interactions.
Higher possession limits
Within a 60-day period, medical patients are permitted to purchase up to 10 ounces of cannabis; larger amounts may be permitted with a prescription from a healthcare professional. Regulations pertaining to recreational use limit possession to one ounce in public and ten ounces at home.
Higher cultivation limits
Unlike recreational users, who are only allowed to grow six plants per household (12 total plants per household), Massachusetts medical cardholders are allowed to grow up to twelve flowering and twelve vegetative cannabis plants for personal use at home.
Out-of-state recognition
Patients can travel with peace of mind because Massachusetts medical marijuana cards are accepted in states where medical cannabis reciprocity is observed.
