Advantages of Having a Worcester Medical Marijuana Card
Access to safe & tested medicine
Obtaining cannabis from regulated dispensaries guarantees patients using it for medical purposes that their medication is safe and has undergone extensive quality and safety testing.
Save on taxes
Because medical marijuana is exempt from the state excise tax (10.75%), standard sales tax (6.25%), and optional local tax of up to 3%, buying it for medical purposes in Massachusetts results in significant tax savings over recreational purchases.
Expert medical guidance
You can connect with caregivers and medical professionals who are knowledgeable about cannabis if you have a medical card. They can offer specific advice on product selection, dosage, and avoiding potential drug interactions.
Higher possession limits
Within a 60-day period, medical patients are allowed to purchase up to 10 ounces of cannabis; larger amounts may be permitted if a healthcare provider prescribes them. Regulations for 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, Massachusetts medical cardholders are allowed to grow up to twelve flowering and twelve vegetative cannabis plants for personal use at home (12 total plants per household).
Out-of-state recognition
Patients who are on the go can travel with peace of mind because Massachusetts medical marijuana cards are accepted in states where medical cannabis is reciprocated.
