Massachusetts medical marijuana card

Massachusetts medical marijuana card evaluation online

The Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission runs the Medical Use of Marijuana Program alongside the state's adult-use market. A registered provider certifies you, and you then register as a patient. Providers can certify debilitating conditions beyond the listed ones, and medical purchases avoid the taxes that apply to adult-use cannabis, which can add up over a year.
