In terms of the products, medical marijuana is no different from regular marijuana. You will be using the same strains and products in the same way as people who use regular marijuana. The difference however lies in the reason for using cannabis and of course the laws of the state.
In the case of regular marijuana, the reason for use is usually recreational. It is consumed to get high and have a good time. On the other hand, medical cannabis is used to relieve the symptoms of a medical condition like cancer, PTSD, anxiety, seizures, chronic pain and many others as per the laws of the state you live in.
The laws that regulate medical cannabis and regular cannabis use is also different. For example, there are different legal limitations upon each category like possession limit, grow limit, age limit etc. Medical cannabis enjoys flexible limits compared to regular cannabis.
In addition to this, the state laws give special privileges to medical cannabis consumers such as exemption of sales and use tax which saves people up to 28 % compared to regular cannabis.
Last but not the least, a medical cannabis consumer can apply for a medical card, unlike people who use regular cannabis.
