Benefits of a Medical Marijuana Card in Nevada

Owning a medical marijuana card in Nevada is beneficial in more ways than one. Most important for many consumers: you get recognized medical help for your qualifying condition. But there are other reasons to get a medical card in Nevada.

This guide explores the benefits that Nevada medical marijuana patients enjoy, especially compared to recreational consumers.

Reasons Nevada Residents are Getting a Medical Card

The benefits of having a Nevada medical card include:

• Access safe, tested medicine and medical dispensaries. Legal medical dispensaries provide safer, more accurate cannabis products to patients.
• Experience tax savings on products. Patients are exempt from the 10% excise tax recreational consumers must pay. You’ll still pay state and local taxes, but you’ll be paying less than recreational users. 
• Purchase more potent products. Recreational products are limited to 100 milligrams per package. Medical cannabis products aren’t subject to that limit, and med card holders can purchase up to 10,000mg of THC-infused products every 14 days.
• Cultivate your own cannabis. Patients meeting specific requirements are permitted to grow their own cannabis at home  (up to six mature and six immature plants per property), so they can always access their preferred strain to get the desired effects. 
• It’s easier to access licensed shops. Medical cardholders have access to more (and more convenient) licensed dispensaries than recreational consumers.
• Experience increased legal protections for patients. Medical patients may receive some legal protections that aren’t available to consumers without a medical card.
• Receive proper medical guidance. Get support from a qualified NuggMD practitioner who can answer your healthcare and cannabis questions. That includes questions about products, dosage, potential interactions with other medications, and more. Med card holders can also utilize a Nevada caregiver to assist in procuring medical cannabis.
