In recent years, more and more states have legalized medical marijuana.
In fact, as of November 2024, 38 states, the District of Columbia, and four out of the five permanently inhabited U.S. territories have legalized medical marijuana. There’s never been a better time to get a medical marijuana card, but how much does it actually cost?
While it varies by state, fees, such as application or cultivation fees, can range from $0 – $200. These cards are typically valid for a year, but each state has its own unique regulations regarding the cost of the card, renewal fees, and terms.
This article will explain the costs of obtaining a medical marijuana certificate through the Veriheal program by state and any applicable registration and renewal fees.
Veriheal has satisfied millions of patients nationwide by giving them access to these benefits
While some states that have medical marijuana programs also have recreational (adult-use) marijuana, there are still several benefits to obtaining or renewing your medical marijuana card.
For example, having your medical card can save you time and money in the long run. You can skip the line at the dispensary, purchase higher-potency products, have better legal protection, and access other benefits.
Many dispensaries offer discounts to medical-only patients, such as 5%—to 15% off the overall purchase price. They also run special deals on medical marijuana-only products, and medical patients typically pay lower state taxes on cannabis.
Overall, getting your MMJ card is worth it for a variety of reasons. To find out more about medical cannabis and what it can do for you, schedule an appointment with one of our doctors today.
