Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about medical marijuana cards and our telehealth service
What happens if I exceed my state's possession limit?
Exceeding possession limits can result in criminal charges, fines, or imprisonment depending on your state. Medical marijuana patients typically have higher limits and better legal protection than recreational users.
