Benefits Of Having Medical Marijuana Card In California

No 21 Years Age Restriction

There is no age limit of 21 for medical marijuana cardholders in California. The minimum age for MMJ cardholders in California is 18 years. Therefore, you do not need to wait until you are 21 years old to purchase medical cannabis, as you can buy medical cannabis when you are 18 years old.

Higher Growth Limit

Medical marijuana cardholders may cultivate up to six mature marijuana plants, 12 immature marijuana plants, or more with a doctor’s recommendation, whereas people purchasing recreational marijuana are subject to lower limits.

Save Big On Taxes

In California, medical marijuana card holders are not subject to any state or local sales tax. Holding an MMIC allows you to save money on your medical cannabis purchase, making your treatment more affordable.

Housing & Workplace Protection Laws

In some instances, an MMIC may offer additional protection for patients at work or when looking for a place to rent. Some employers and landlords have specific rules that allow medical marijuana for patients with a valid MMIC.

Patients Support Groups

Through the MMIC program, California patients have access to various resources, including support groups, educational materials, and peer-to-peer support groups. Patients can connect with others going through similar challenges, gain valuable knowledge, and stay abreast of the latest advances in medical marijuana treatment.

Travel With Medical Marijuana

The primary advantage of MMIC holders is the ability to travel within California and legally possess their medical marijuana. This enables patients to adhere to their treatment plan even when away from home.
