Some of the benefits are as follows:<\/p>\n<p>In the United States, marijuana is a schedule 1 controlled substance, and therefore the use, sale, and possession of cannabis is illegal under federal law. However, despite federal law prohibiting the use of cannabis, there are over 30 states with their own medical cannabis programs. The legality of cannabis in the various states, can be broken down into four categories:<\/p>\n<p>1. Legal for both recreational and medical purposes.<br \/>\n2. Legal for medical use only.<br \/>\n3. Legal for medical use, with limited THC content.<br \/>\n4. Prohibited for any use.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore in states where cannabis is illegal recreationally, having a cannabis card is the only legal way to possess and consume cannabis.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 By obtaining a medical cannabis card, you will be able to access a wider range of products and dispensaries, and in many cases also be eligible for higher potency limits.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 In states where recreational cannabis is legal, having a medical cannabis card may exempt you from sales tax. It may also be advantageous to carry a card, in order to qualify for insurance reimbursements in some states.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are several advantages of carrying a medical cannabis card\/certificate, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":320,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"faq_category":[176],"class_list":["post-5942","avada_faq","type-avada_faq","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","faq_category-heeyl-services"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Are there any benefits in having a medical cannabis card in the U.S? - Heeyl<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/heeyl.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/avada_faq\/5942\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Are there any benefits in having a medical cannabis card in the U.S? - Heeyl\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"There are several advantages of carrying a medical cannabis card\/certificate, [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/heeyl.com\/en\/faq-items\/are-there-any-benefits-in-having-a-medical-cannabis-card-in-the-u-s\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Heeyl\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/heeyl.com\/fr\/faq-items\/are-there-any-benefits-in-having-a-medical-cannabis-card-in-the-u-s\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/heeyl.com\/fr\/faq-items\/are-there-any-benefits-in-having-a-medical-cannabis-card-in-the-u-s\/\",\"name\":\"Are there any benefits in having a medical cannabis card in the U.S? - Heeyl\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/heeyl.com\/fr\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-10-22T12:37:08+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-10-22T12:37:08+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/heeyl.com\/fr\/faq-items\/are-there-any-benefits-in-having-a-medical-cannabis-card-in-the-u-s\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/heeyl.com\/fr\/faq-items\/are-there-any-benefits-in-having-a-medical-cannabis-card-in-the-u-s\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/heeyl.com\/fr\/faq-items\/are-there-any-benefits-in-having-a-medical-cannabis-card-in-the-u-s\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/heeyl.com\/fr\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"FAQs\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/heeyl.com\/fr\/faq-items\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Are there any benefits in having a medical cannabis card in the U.S?\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/heeyl.com\/fr\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/heeyl.com\/fr\/\",\"name\":\"Heeyl\",\"description\":\"Cannabis Healthcare - Guidance.
