Get Your Arizona Medical Marijuana Card
From Our Doctors Nearby

Choosing medical over recreational cannabis in Arizona could save you hundreds, even thousands, of dollars. Medical marijuana is cheaper, taxed less, and often comes with extra dispensary perks.

How significant is the price difference between medical and recreational marijuana? The average price for an ounce of high-quality medical marijuana in Arizona is $296.62. Meanwhile, the average price for an ounce of high-quality recreational marijuana is $350.00. That’s a difference of $53.38 per ounce. 

Also, Medical marijuana is only subject to the state sales tax of 5.6%. Yet recreational marijuana is subject to an additional excise tax of 16%. So, with your med card, you pay less tax on your purchases than recreational users.

How much money can you save with an Arizona medical card? If you buy an ounce of high-quality cannabis every month for a year and you are a medical user, you will spend around $3,758.76 ($313.23 x 12). On the other hand, a recreational user will pay $5,107.20 ($425.60 x 12). That’s a difference of $1,348.44 per year! That’s enough money to buy four more ounces of medical marijuana.

An Arizona medical marijuana card isn’t merely a ticket to cost savings. You enjoy liberties that recreational users don’t. With your med card, you can buy, grow, and possess more cannabis. Plus, you’ll have a broader selection of more potent cannabis products available to you. Moreover, your AZ medical card guarantees employment discrimination protection, a benefit recreational users lack. And those are just a few of the many reasons to get a medical card in Arizona.
