Difference between a storefront and dispensary

A storefront is designated for people looking to access adult-use cannabis while dispensaries offer medical marijuana to patients with chronic conditions.

In a storefront, customers don't need a prescription from a doctor to buy cannabis. In contrast, in a dispensary, customers must have a medical marijuana card from a qualified physician to purchase.

In a storefront, customers may purchase cannabis products without medical necessity and don’t need to discuss chronic conditions or diseases with the budtender. Conversely, in a dispensary, customers may discuss the debilitating disease with the budtender to ensure the condition is treated, and the customer is comfortable with the cannabis products. 

Difference between adult-use, or recreational, and medical 

Adult-use, or recreational, cannabis is used by consumers to derive pleasure, whereas medical marijuana is used to treat underlying medical conditions.

Consumption of adult-use cannabis doesn't require any directions from a certified physician. In contrast, medical marijuana is taken under the guidance and supervision of a medical professional.

Adult-use cannabis products are usually sold in storefronts while medical marijuana is sold in dispensaries, although in Fall River, dispensaries are licensed to sell both medical and adult-use cannabis products.
