Medical marijuana is grown to have large painkilling properties and minimum hallucinogens; the grower is also certified as permitted to do so for legal reasons. 'Normal' marijuana is just a mix of whatever the seller has, depending on how and where they got it from, and of course is illegal.
Ok, first off, no matter what anyone says Marijuana does not make you hallucinate at all. Medical Marijuana is Good Marijuana with a higher amount of THC. Normal marijuana is usually known as Regular or Mids and is usually from Mexico. "Normal" marijuana is cheaper and has less THC.
Ultimately there's no difference. The active ingredient in both is the same. The chemical composition of the plant is the same. The effects are largely the same. The "difference" if one can be claimed at all, is that suppliers of Marijuana to pot clubs and compassionate care centers use strictly controlled growing methods, whereas Marijuana distributed on the street level can be laced with other drugs.
There's also a wide range of potencies achieved based on the growing method used. The end result though is still that Marijuana A, grown by medical professionals is exactly the same as unaltered Marijuana B, grown by street level dealers. The only time there is any difference is if street growers mix something in with their pot after the fact. :) :)

I went to the marijuana forums to ask the people who use it. This one says medical cannabis beats the pants off street pot:

This source says that either there's no difference, or the street stuff's better:

But in truth, it's the source and the strain that matter, and not whether or not it's legal. The pot can only be as good as the parent plants, and if the supplier of street weed cuts it with other herbs, it won't be as potent. This site has opinions on different strains, medical and "regular", from people who use them:

There is no difference except in SoCal the cannabis sold as medical is sold in dispensaries and are probably higher grade on average than most sold on the street. Some of it does have specific purposes like some that has more CBD relative to THC so is reported to be better for pain. Some have higher ratios of other cannabinoids other than THC for medical effects but that is probably more the exception. Most of the time it is just regular cannabis sold as medical to make it legal.

For the main area, there is not any difference. Marijuana is grown the comparable way in the two circumstances- dispensaries carry various diverse lines nonetheless that is extra durable to get from highway sellers. There are continually going to be people who sense sorry approximately utilising any substance, and that i actual does not smoke it precise in the previous you play activities, despite the fact that it relies upon on you. no longer all human beings reacts the comparable thank you to marijuana. it would get interior the way of you enjoying activities, it won't.

Potency Grade, Real Big Difference,
Its like getting a ibuprofen from the store, for your pains,
or getting a vikidone from your doctor.
Two things that have the similar effects but on different scales.
