Now, both words mean any cannabis store. The main difference is the type of license the store has. Medical stores need a special license to sell to patients with doctor's notes. Some stores in other states can sell to both medical patients and adults over 21, but in Manchester, stores can only serve medical patients. Some stores might have a recreational license, which means they can sell cannabis to any adult over 21. In some states, stores can have both types of licenses so that they can sell to both medical cannabis patients and recreational users."
