Most cannabis use is medical in some way

People use it to sleep, relax, manage stress, ease discomfort, or simply feel better day to day. If you have an ongoing symptom or condition you're trying to manage, it may be worth checking if you qualify.

Could you qualify? Requirements vary by state. Certification is determined by the provider — we'll never promise eligibility.

Tax savings by state

In many states, medical cannabis is exempt from retail sales tax (rules vary). This is the core driver of the break-even math.

PA note: There is no retail sales tax on medical cannabis at the register. Tax is collected upstream (grower/processor → dispensary). In adult-use states, the retail tax is passed directly to you.
