Ep. 33 - Medical or Adult Use, It's All the Same Cannabis
Medical or adult use? Which should you use? What are the differences? Are there differences? Currently in the United States, cannabis users have two legal options in states that have legalized either medical or adult-use cannabis. Although many of the differences between them are related to access, there are many other issues at hand when consumers make the decision to purchase at either a legal adult-use or medical dispensary.
In this episode of CNT, we highlight the differences between medical and adult-use cannabis, but keep in mind... it's all the same weed.
