Why Get a Medical Marijuana Card if Cannabis Is Already Legal in WA?

​

Even though recreational cannabis is legal in Washington, obtaining a medical marijuana card offers many important advantages:

​
✅ Legally grow up to 15 organic plants at home
✅ Access higher-potency medical-grade products
✅ Save money with reduced or eliminated state taxes

✅ Maintain or obtain employment (depending on workplace policies)

For individuals who rely on cannabis to treat chronic conditions, these benefits can be extremely valuable.

How Safe Is Medical Cannabis?

​

According to the CDC, over 218,000 people in the U.S. died from prescription opioid overdoses between 1999–2017. That’s more than 12,000 deaths per year—equivalent to four 911-level tragedies every year, driven largely by chronic pain treatment.

​

Prescription opioids can cause:​

​

• Severe Constipation

• Addiction

• Personality Changes

• Endocrine Imbalances

• Weakened Immune System

• Increased Pain Sensitivity

• Overdose and Death

​

By comparison, cannabis has almost zero risk of fatal overdose (except when used irresponsibly, such as if driving while impaired). Most patients tolerate medical cannabis well, and any side effects are usually quite mild.

​

Possible Side Effects

Some side effects have been reported, primarily with high-THC recreational use:

​

• Chronic cough or respiratory irritation (with smoking)

• Cognitive changes or memory issues

• Anxiety or panic

• Hallucinations or psychosis (rare; most common in teens or high-risk individuals)

• Impacts on teen brain development with early heavy use​

​

Most of these risks are significantly lower when cannabis is:

​

• Used medically

• Taken in low, appropriate doses

• Guided by a knowledgeable provider

• Our doctors help you choose the safest route of administration and dosage for your health needs.
