Get Your Michigan Medical Marijuana Card
From Our Doctors Online

A medical marijuana card in Michigan can lower your cannabis costs remarkably rather than going the recreational route. In fact, you can save around $2400 annually! Here’s how:

Medical marijuana is cheaper than recreational marijuana. On average, the price of a gram of medical marijuana in Michigan is $13 ($364 per ounce), while the same amount of recreational marijuana is $18 ($504 per ounce). That’s a price difference of $5 per gram or $140 per ounce before taxes.

Medical users also pay less in taxes compared to recreational users. MMJ in Michigan is subject to a statewide 6% sales tax. Recreational marijuana purchases, on the other hand, are subject to a 10% marijuana excise tax in addition to the statewide 6% sales tax.

Now, suppose you buy an ounce (28 grams) of cannabis per month. You could spend $385.84 (product + taxes) monthly on medical marijuana. But if you opt for recreational cannabis, you will pay $584.64 (product + taxes). That is a price difference of $198.80 monthly and $2,385.60 annually!

Other than saving money, the Michigan medical card comes with more benefits. Here are some reasons to get a med card even when recreational cannabis is available:

• A Medical marijuana card provides extra legal protection. So, cardholders are less likely to face legal issues, unlike recreational users.
• Cardholders gain access to a broader selection of products than recreational users.
• Medical cannabis products are often of higher potency and quality.
• Dispensaries in Michigan often provide specialized services to medical marijuana cardholders.
• Possessing a card allows you to use cannabis irrespective of age. Only adults aged 21 and older can get recreational marijuana in Michigan.
• Medical marijuana cardholders can benefit from the expert guidance of healthcare professionals for a more accurate treatment plan.
