Adult Use
Adult Use (also called Recreational Use) is a term used in the U.S. for states where cannabis is legal to use and purchase for those 21 and older. This is as opposed to medical use. This means consumers over a certain age can legally use cannabis. Each legal market has unique rules around adult-use, including the legal age, purchase limits, and dispensary requirements, but all adult-use markets allow the sale of marijuana with a valid ID. The opposite of adult-use is medical, where consumers must have a medical card to acquire cannabis products.
