Difference between a storefront and dispensary

A storefront is designated to meet the needs of adult cannabis consumers, whereas a dispensary is structured to meet the needs of patients with medical conditions.

In a dispensary, the cannabis product is tailored to meet the requirements of the patients so that the condition can be treated, whereas, in a storefront, the cannabis products are not specified to meet the medical needs of the consumer.

In a storefront, the retailer may not analyze cannabis products to determine their therapeutic potency. In a dispensary, the budtender is qualified to determine which medical marijuana derivatives can treat specific chronic conditions.

Difference between adult-use, or recreational, and medical

Adult-use, or recreational, cannabis is consumed without a qualified doctor's instructions. On the contrary, medical marijuana is used according to a qualified doctor's instructions.

Medical marijuana is sold in dispensaries and the patient has to have a medical marijuana card to access it. Adult-use, or recreational, cannabis, on the other hand, is offered in storefronts and you don’t need an MMJ card as long to access it, as long as you are of legal age with a valid, government-issued ID.

The prices of cannabis products for adult use are higher due to state, local, and excise taxes. In contrast, the prices of cannabis products for medical patients are affordable due to waived excise taxes. Adult-use, or recreational, marijuana in Cleveland is illegal.
