Here in Canada we had medical exemptions for weed which was pretty simple to get, but it’s kind of pointless now since it was legalized in 2018 anyway. A medical exemption now really only covers the amount of weed you can grow for personal use. Normally we’re allowed to grow up to 4 plants, but if you have an exemption you can grow more at a time.
Oh, there is even more fun stuff I forgot. You can grow up to 3 plants at a time, however at the same time you are only allowed to own up to 50g in total and you can carry a maximum of 25g.
I have no idea, what they thought, when defining these limits, but they are literally nothing.
Ours are pretty dumb that way too, I think our limit is 30g dried pot, or 150g of what they call “fresh” (wet) allowed to be carrying in public. At home limits vary from province to province, but for the most part they’re not much better.
The laws were obviously written by people who have no idea what they’re doing and don’t make much sense. A couple good plants can easily make more than the limit. I’ve had pot plants taller than I am. The only good part about that is the cops don’t really care, so unless they’re looking to screw with you it’s not a big deal.

The medical exemption also gives access to the older gen dispensaries, which can have better prices/options.
