A: Getting a medical marijuana card has several advantages over using recreational cannabis, especially for individuals seeking cannabis for health-related reasons. Here’s why: Lower Costs: Medical marijuana patients often pay lower prices because many states offer tax exemptions or reduced taxes on medical cannabis purchases. Recreational cannabis, on the other hand, is usually subject to high state and local taxes. Higher Potency Products: Medical marijuana dispensaries provide stronger cannabis products tailored for medical use. Many states cap THC potency in recreational cannabis, while medical users can access more effective products. Legal Protections: A medical marijuana card may provide additional legal benefits, such as job protections in some states and priority access to cannabis in case of supply shortages. It also allows patients to legally purchase and use cannabis in states where recreational use is still restricted. Larger Purchase & Possession Limits: Medical cannabis patients are often allowed to buy and possess more cannabis than recreational users, ensuring they have enough to manage their condition effectively. Access to Medical Dispensaries: Some dispensaries are exclusively for medical patients and offer specialized products, expert consultations, and personalized care that recreational dispensaries may not provide. State Reciprocity Benefits: Some states recognize out-of-state medical marijuana cards, allowing patients to purchase cannabis legally while traveling, whereas recreational users may not have the same flexibility. Overall, a medical marijuana card ensures cost savings, legal advantages, and better access to medical-grade cannabis, making it a better choice for those using cannabis for health conditions.

The legal history of cannabis in the United States mainly involves the th and st centuries. In the 1800, cannabis (also referred to as marijuana) was legal in most states, as hemp to make items such as rope, sails, and clothes, and was used for medicinal purposes; however, after the Mexican Revolution of 1910, a wave of Mexicans immigrated to the United States and introduced the American public to recreational cannabis use. The first significant instance of cannabis regulation appeared in Washington DC in 1906. Prohibitions of cannabis soon followed in the other states. By the mid-1930s, cannabis was regulated in every state by laws instituted through The Uniform State Narcotic Act.[1] The federal drug policy of the United States began with the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937, signed by Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt[2] and the establishment of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics. DuPont and William Randolph Hearst played a role in the criminalization of cannabis. In the s strict mandatory sentencing laws substantially increased federal penalties for cannabis possession (but were removed in the s In 1964, the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs entered into force, for the first time placing the U.S. under treaty obligations to control cannabis production and distribution. In the s mandatory sentencing laws were reinstated for large-scale cannabis distribution, three strikes laws were enacted and applied to cannabis possession, and the death sentence was enabled for cannabis drug kingpins. In the 1970s, many places in the United States started to decriminalize cannabis. Most places that have decriminalized cannabis have one or more of civil fines, drug education, drug treatment in place of incarceration, criminal charges for possession of small amounts of cannabis, or have made various cannabis offenses the lowest priority for law enforcement. In the s many places began to legalize medical cannabis, which conflicts with federal laws, as cannabis is a Schedule I drug according to the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, which classified cannabis as having high potential for abuse, no medical use, and not safe to use under medical supervision. Multiple efforts to reschedule cannabis have failed and the United States Supreme Court has ruled in United States v. Oakland Cannabis Buyers' Coop and Gonzales v. Raich that the federal government has a right to regulate and criminalize cannabis, even for medical purposes.
So far just about the only thing that it's been clearly and irrefutably demonstrated that cannabis can help with is a deficit of getting high. I don't know that it's even been suggested that it might help with an UNDERactive thyroid... an underactive thyroid means you're too mellow already; cannabis would seem to be counterproductive. (Homeopathy would seem to state that it would be an ideal treatment, but also that it has to be so dilute there's literally zero chance of you getting high from it.)
