What is the difference between a dispensary and a storefront?
A weed dispensary and a storefront refer to basically the same thing when it comes to selling marijuana. In the past, people used the word "dispensary" to talk about places that sold medical marijuana, like how a pharmacy sells medicine. But now, people use both words to mean the same thing — a store where you can buy marijuana products.
The main difference between marijuana stores is the type of license they have. Some shops might have a medical license, which means they can sell marijuana to people who have a doctor's note saying they need it for medical reasons.
Other stores might have a recreational license, which means they can sell marijuana to any adult over 21. In some states, stores can have both licenses to sell to medical patients and recreational users.
What is the difference between adult-use, recreational, and medical marijuana?
Recreational marijuana (or “adult use”) is for enjoyment. You don't need a doctor's permission or a medical reason to use it. On the other hand, medical marijuana helps people feel better when they are sick or have a long-term health condition.
When someone uses adult-use marijuana, they don't need a doctor to tell them how to use it or what health problem they have. But when someone uses medical marijuana, a doctor gives them specific instructions on how to use it to help them feel better or make their symptoms go away.
