// Definition
The economic tension between recreational and medical cannabis markets where recreational legalization can drive prices down for all consumers but may reduce medical patient access to subsidized or compassionate pricing programs at dispensaries.
// From the Episode
Panel members discussed how dispensaries were losing medical patients due to recreational availability, and how some dispensaries offered discounts to medical patients to retain them. The concern was that recreational commercialization would undermine the compassionate care model that built the medical cannabis movement.
