Medical CBD, medical cannabis, or medical marijuana—whatever name you use to describe it, it is essentially the same product. What is not the same product is the cannabis vape pen. In most states where medical marijuana has been legalized, residents have been given cards to purchase buds in small doses (so as to limit the misuse of the prescription). However, the vape pen brings into question the adequate dosage because the pen uses purified cannabis oil and not the buds or leaves. Still, for people who cannot smoke or do not want to start smoking in order to use medical cannabis, the pen is a good option. Here is where and how to get yours.

In States Where Medical CBD and Medical Marijuana Oil Are Legal

While the federal ruling on the legality of marijuana is still making this drug illegal, most states have made up their minds about it and have their own rulings. More states are following suit, with a few holdout states in the Midwest and South. California just ruled that recreational pot is now legal too. If you want to vape cannabidiol oil, you are free to do so in the states where it is legal. While you may be able to buy cannabis vape pens online, most companies that produce them will not knowingly ship to states where these products are still considered illegal. If you want the vape pen with its perfectly portioned CBD oil cartridges, you have to go where it is legal and use it only in those states.

Additionally, you cannot truck it across state lines from one legal state to an illegal state. (Well, you could, but if you get caught, it would not be so good for you.) If you cross state lines because you live in an illegal state, buy, and use a vape pen there, then drive back over into your home state, that could also be bad for you. Even without any CBD products in your vehicle or on your person, a police officer is trained to spot people who are "happier than usual." You could be arrested just for being high and crossing back into a CBD-illegal state.

How to Get Your Medical Cannabis Oil Vape Pen

There are companies that have made pre-loaded cannabis vape pens. They ship the pens to several states where medical marijuana is legal and to the many pharmacies in these states that are licensed to sell controlled substances. If you have a medical marijuana card and a prescription from a doctor in these states, you can get your vape pens from a pharmacy, order directly from the company via online or over the phone, or get them from a medical marijuana shop that carries the pre-loaded vape pens and additional measured cartridges.
