Younger patients can still qualify for a medical card with proper parent or guardian consent, though they must be accompanied by their registered caregiver when visiting dispensaries.

What is the difference between a dispensary and a storefront?
A dispensary and a storefront both sell marijuana products. People first used "dispensary" for medical marijuana stores, like pharmacies. Now, both words mean any cannabis store.
The main difference is the type of license the store has. Medical stores need a special license to sell to patients with doctor's notes. Some stores in other states can sell to both medical patients and adults over 21, but in Wilkes-Barre, stores can only serve medical patients.
Some stores might have a recreational license, which means they can sell cannabis to any adult over 21. In some states, stores can have both types of licenses so that they can sell to both medical cannabis patients and recreational users.
What is the difference between adult-use, recreational, and medical marijuana?
Medical marijuana helps people feel better when they are sick or have a long-term health condition. Recreational marijuana (or “adult use”) is for pleasure. You don't need a doctor's approval or a medical reason to use it.
With medical marijuana, doctors provide patients with clear instructions about how to use cannabis to treat their specific health conditions. The doctor helps determine the right amount to use and the best way to manage symptoms.
