Get Your Michigan Medical Marijuana Card

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!

The Michigan medical card comes with more advantages beyond saving money. Here are some reasons to get a med card even when recreational cannabis is available:

• • A Michigan medical card gives you access to more potent medical-grade cannabis products.
  • A Michigan medical card allows patients of all ages to access medical marijuana, unlike recreational cannabis, which is restricted to those 21 and older.
  • A Michigan medical card provides expert guidance from healthcare professionals for precise treatment.
