Benefits of Having a Medical Card in Maryland

In Maryland, having a medical card comes with several notable advantages that improve the overall experience of medical cannabis patients:

  • Access Safe, Tested Medicine: Opting for medical cannabis in Maryland means you're getting products that have been rigorously tested for purity and potency. This ensures that you're consuming safe medicine, free from harmful contaminants.
  • Home Delivery for Medical Patients: Maryland offers the convenience of home delivery exclusively for medical cannabis patients and their caregivers, providing ease of access and maintaining patient privacy.
  • Save on Taxes: Medical cardholders in Maryland benefit from tax exemptions that aren't available to recreational users, saving on the state's 9% recreational cannabis tax.
  • Higher THC Products: If you require more potent relief, Maryland allows medical patients access to products with higher THC content than what's available recreationally, up to 10mg THC per serving or 100mg per package.
  • Cultivate More at Home: Medical patients in Maryland have the privilege of growing twice as many cannabis plants at home as recreational users, offering a more personalized and plentiful supply.
  • Shorter Lines and Availability Guarantees: Medical dispensaries in Maryland prioritize patients by providing faster service and ensuring adequate stock of necessary products, making for a smoother and more reliable experience.
  • Receive Proper Medical Guidance: A key benefit of holding a medical card in Maryland is access to professional guidance from healthcare practitioners and caregivers knowledgeable in cannabis therapy. They can offer valuable advice on product selection, dosages, and interactions with other medications, ensuring a safe and effective treatment plan for your qualifying condition.
  • Increased Possession Limits: Maryland's medical cardholders can possess up to 120 grams of dried flower or 36 grams of THC concentrate every 30 days, exceeding the limits for recreational users and ensuring uninterrupted access to medication.
  • Access Before Age 21: In Maryland, medical cannabis is accessible to patients under 21, a crucial benefit for younger patients with therapeutic needs. This allows for legal access through a caregiver, bypassing the age restrictions on adult-use cannabis.
  • Availability Amid Legal Transitions: As Maryland transitions to legal adult-use cannabis, medical cardholders continue to enjoy uninterrupted access to their medication. This guarantees that your therapeutic needs are met without delay, regardless of the evolving recreational market.
