Difference between a storefront and a dispensary

A storefront provides cannabis products to consumers without medical necessity whereas a dispensary provides cannabis products to patients for medical necessity.

In a dispensary, a patient must have a diagnosed medical condition done by a licensed physician to purchase cannabis products. In contrast, a storefront doesn't need a diagnosed medical condition or a physician to buy cannabis products.

Storefronts put a big emphasis on the branding, packaging, and aesthetic of a product while dispensaries focus more on the therapeutic standards of medical marijuana products. 

Difference between adult-use, or recreational, and medical 

Adult-use or recreational cannabis is used by consumers to satisfy their recreational needs whereas medical cannabis is consumed by patients to treat debilitating conditions or symptoms. 

Medical cannabis has to be certified by a licensed physician who has proved the patient has a chronic condition. In contrast, adult-use, or recreational, cannabis requires no certification by a doctor or an expert.

Adult-use, or recreational, cannabis is consumed without a qualified doctor's instructions. On the contrary, medical marijuana is used according to a qualified doctor's instructions.
