Benefits of a Medical Card

Why a Medical Cannabis Card Matters

For many people struggling with chronic pain, anxiety, or other ongoing health conditions, cannabis offers relief that improves daily life. But without a medical cannabis card, patients are limited to recreational use—which often means higher costs, lower possession limits, and fewer product options. A medical card opens the door to significant advantages that go beyond convenience.

At Far Out Alternative Care, Emily makes the certification process simple and supportive for patients in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire. With telehealth and in-person options, we’re here to help you access the full range of benefits available to medical cardholders.

Benefits of a Medical Card

Tax Savings

Save 20% in tax savings at each purchase.
This easily pays for your MMJ card in as little as 1 month for regular users.

Cultivation

Grow up to 6 plants in your home for personal use (MA residents only).

Higher Possession

10oz limit of possession vs. 1oz with recreational use (MA).

Higher Potency & Quality

Have access to the highest potency products from the highest quality brands.

Legal Protection

Employers cannot fire you for using medical cannabis responsibly outside of work hours/off location.
Landlords cannot deny you housing based off of responsible medical cannabis use.
(Situations vary, always consult with your HR rep/landlord)

Medical Guidance

By consulting with a medical marijuana doctor or nurse practitioner, you gain access to guided recommendations for medical ailments.

Personalized Medical Guidance

Unlike recreational purchases, medical cannabis certification includes consultation with a licensed provider. Emily takes the time to understand your symptoms, health history, and treatment goals. This professional guidance helps you make informed choices about strains, dosages, and methods of use, leading to better outcomes.

Benefits for New Hampshire Patients

While New Hampshire laws differ from Massachusetts, patients still gain key advantages with a medical card, including access to regulated products designed for therapeutic use, confidential medical support, and legal authorization to manage health conditions with cannabis.
