Get a Medical Card
While you no longer need a medical card to get cannabis delivery if you are 21 or older, there are a couple distinct reasons some folks still prefer to have a medical card:
- You pay less taxes.
- Your legal purchase limit is higher.
Below are the two different types of medical cannabis classifications in California:
- Doctor's Recommendation - Obtained from any private doctor. Saves you 5% in taxes. Costs less than $50 for one year and is completely private (you're not on any sort of government list). Get a Doctor's Recommedation here
- Medical Marijuana Identification Card - Obtained from California Deparment of Public Health. Saves you 14.5% in total taxes. Costs about $150 for 1 year and puts you on an official government list. Get your MMIC here
