How Marijuana Helps

Unlike many other states, Autism Spectrum Disorder is not specifically listed in Massachusetts' qualifying conditions for medical marijuana; however, many debilitating symptoms associated with Autism may qualify under "other debilitating conditions as determined in writing by a qualifying patient’s certifying physician."
​
If you or your autistic family member is debilitated by Autism-associated conditions which severely interfere with daily life functions and are considering getting a medical marijuana card to improve those symptoms, please see our complete guide on how to get your medical marijuana card in Massachusetts.

Benefits of Having a Medical Cannabis Card

Access for All Ages
Recreational marijuana states allow use for anyone age 21 or over, but medical patients under the age of 21 must obtain a doctor's recommendation to legally use cannabis and pediatric patients under the age of 18, need recommendation of the patient's primary care physician and a second medical marijuana certified physician. That’s where UrbMD comes in!
​
Larger possession limits
In Massachusetts, as in most states, medical cannabis patients can possess and purchase larger amounts than recreational cannabis users. In most states, medical cannabis is the only option for legal use!
​
Save on Taxes
In Massachusetts there exist state excise taxes, cultivation taxes, and sales tax at the local municipality level. As a medical marijuana patient, you’ll save up to10% on your purchases by being exempt from these taxes.
​
Purchase any Products
Medical patients have access to exotic strains and precisely dosed, higher-concentration edibles that aren't available to recreational users.
​
Visit More Dispensaries
Even in legal states, many local cities allow medical cannabis, but not recreational. Having a medical card will grant you access to any Cannabis Control Commission licensed marijuana dispensary in Massachusetts.
​
Apply for your Medical Marijuana Card
In Massachusetts, a doctor's recommendation allows you to apply for the state program. Massachusetts Medical Marijuana Certification Program (MMCP) is needed for medical purchases which requires that you must be approved by a licensed and certified doctor first!

Autism Support Resources
Links to support groups, communities, blogs and services which can share experiences and advice for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their families to help them navigate educational, vocational and government services.
