7 Important Medical Marijuana Card Benefits in Arizona
The recreational market is heating up in Arizona, but there are still plenty of reasons to get a med card. Here are just a few of Arizona’s medical marijuana card benefits for qualifying patients.
- Access a safe, tested medicinal alternative. Cannabis helps expand treatment options in medical states. Purchasing from a legal medical dispensary also helps guarantee you’re using a safe, tested, and accurately labeled cannabis product.
- Get a sweet tax break. Arizona medical cannabis patients are exempt from the state’s 16% cannabis excise tax, which recreational consumers must pay.
- Purchase more product. Cannabis patients can buy 2.5x as much as their recreational counterparts in Arizona. While recreational consumers can buy one ounce, medical patients can buy up to 2.5 ounces.
- Grow more cannabis. Arizona med cardholders or their designated caregivers can each cultivate up to 12 plants. Recreational consumers can only grow up to six cannabis plants. (If there are two or more adults in the home, rec consumers can grow up to twelve plants.)
- Have more dispensary options. Patients have access to more (and more convenient) licensed dispensaries, saving time and gas money.
- Experience greater legal protections. Cannabis patients receive legal, employment, and parental protections that recreational consumers don’t. Learn more about Arizona's cannabis laws and regulations.
- Receive transparent and proper medical guidance. Get support from a qualified cannabis practitioner. NuggMD’s team can answer your healthcare and cannabis-related questions. Whether that pertains to products, dosage, or even potential interactions with other medications, you’re in good hands. Patients can also designate a caregiver to help obtain and administer cannabis.
