Medical marijuana must be stored securely in the original packaging and container in which it was dispensed. It should only be removed from the original packaging and container when ready for use by the patient.

After using the medication, make sure the container is closed and returned to its original packaging for storage. It is important to store your medication in a location out of reach of children and out of sight. It is illegal for a patient or a patient’s caregiver to distribute medical marijuana to anyone other than the patient.

Any unwanted, excess, expired or contaminated medical marijuana product should be made non-recoverable before disposal by:

- Removing the medical marijuana from its container and mixing with a material to make the product undesirable – common options are dirt, cat litter, or coffee grounds.
- Remove all patient information from your product packaging.
- Place both the packaging and unused, undesirable product into the garbage.

If you think your pet has ingested medical marijuana, call your veterinarian or Animal Poison Control.

"Recreational" generally refers to activities or products that are engaged in or consumed for enjoyment, relaxation, or leisure rather than for a specific purpose or benefit. In the context of cannabis, "recreational use" refers to the non-medical use of cannabis for purposes such as euphoria, creativity, and social situations. Recreational use is legal in some states but subject to specific regulations and restrictions.

No, it is illegal to sell cannabis unless you are a verified dispensary, even if you have extra left over and are selling to another legal user. In most states and countries, selling or distributing cannabis without a license can result in legal consequences such as fines, imprisonment, or other penalties.

In states where cannabis is legal, whether recreational or medical, consumption is typically restricted to private residences or privaty property with the owner’s permission. Some states may allow smoking in certain designated public spaces, such as licensed cannabis lounges or clubs, but this option is not yet widespread. It is important to be aware of the laws and regulations regarding cannabis consumption in your state.
