If you’ve gone through Affordable Marijuana License, your recommendations will include Inhalation, Topical, Oral, and Sublingual routes as well as 2.5oz of smokable flower.

Cancer affects approximately 1.9 million individuals in America. Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an annual campaign to bring attention to the 1 in 8 women that will develop breast cancer in their lifetime.

In addition, the aggregate allotted milligrams cannot exceed 24,500 mg of THC per 70-Day recommendation. Your low-THC cannabis will not be affected by this new rule. Because of this new limit you will not receive the same amount of milligrams per route as you are used to. In fact, each route (aside from Smokable Marijuana) will contain different maximum limits:
