Same but different

What is the difference between these two plants?

 The one on the left is a "recreational" marijuana plant. 

The one on the right is a "medical" marijuana plant. 

The one on the left can only be grown by businesses licensed by the Liquor Control Board, starting in December.

Individuals with medical marijuana authorizations from healthcare providers currently can grow up to 15 of the ones on the right.  Individuals authorized to use the one on the right can join together with others who are authorized and grow many of these plants as a collective garden without a license.

Products made from the one on the left, such as smokeable marijuana, marijuana-infused foods, and marijuana-infused beverages, will be sold in state-licensed stores after December.

Products made from the one on the right, such as smokeable marijuana, marijuana-infused foods, and marijuana-infused beverages, are currently sold in collective garden access points (commonly known as dispensaries) in the City of Seattle and other jurisdictions.

The plant on the left cannot be grown in homes and personal gardens.

The plant on the right can be grown in homes and personal gardens. 

The plant on the left is for people aged 21 and older.

The plant on the right is for anyone.
