Who is cheapest doctor to use to get a Medical Marijuana license / prescription?
 

I've decided to see a doctor so that I can get a medical marijuana prescription.

I've been told the price area doctors charge for office visits related to this is $100-$200, does anyone know the cheapest place to go to get this?

Ask for Joey, he is usually on corner of the Town Square in Sumter.

Tell'm Mr. Helpful sent you.

I used a place right next to Trulieve on 441. The initial visit was a couple hundred. The money grab that follows was absolutely ridiculous. They wanted you to get a new prescription every 6 months, then there's the cost of the license from the state that has to be renewed every year.
I found the whole thing to be a big, fat waste of time and money.
Maybe things have changed, as this was 4-5 years ago, but I let my license lapse after 1 year. Switched to Delta 8 which can be purchased legally and it worked just as well as the "medical" stuff.

I haven't found any. Sadly. Hopefully, it will be made legal soon.

If it were to be legalized you would not need to see a Dr.

The entire process is a scam and a ripoff. The doctors and the state are making money, but they are providing no effective screening of patients.

no you would not have to see dr

What makes you think that - oh wait, maybe that is what the receptionist meant when I asked if I get my fee back if I don't qualify, and she replied with a smile, EVERYONE qualifies.

that's the place i use, & yes, it's costly, but @ this point i'm too old to get busted. a friend was using a place much more expensive, so it is what it is. for me i have the added security of a valid card & less worry over legal consequences should any arise

Do you not have a regular doctor. I could probably get one for my health but have no desire. Have never used it for anything.

There are only a few trained doctors who are authorized by the state to approve your application for a medical marijuana license. Most doctors who actually treat patients do not do marijuana approvals. There is no prescription involved. They approve you for a Florida marijuana license and then you go to a state approved dispensary to buy the marijuana. The approval process is a joke because everyone who applies and pays the money will get approved.

my guy by trade is a vascular surgeon out of Boston, who suffers diabetic neuropathy. medical thc/cbd has allowed him to continue treating patients. he feels he is advancing the medical benefits for those like himself who can't take stuff like Neurontin, which WILL make you a zombie & lie in bed all day. not every drug is for every person, it's just great to have the option

The cost is about $150 for the first doctor appointment, plus $75 for the state license, plus another $75 for a follow-up appointment in 6 months, so about $300 for a year. Then, you need to start all over because the license expires in a year.

I get mine in DC. I pay 75 bucks for a pencil and get a free gift of THC. That's how they get around the illegality of selling it.

Yes, it like SS supplement commercial “call see if you qualify” everybody qualified as long as you pay the piper.

Decriminalization is supported by a majority of adults in every single state in the country. The US House this year passed a decriminalization bill by 220 to 204. Of the 220 votes to decriminalize, 217 came from one party and 3 from the other. Keeping pot illegal is good for the private prison industry and gives law enforcement another tool to ensnare minorities. White use of weed is equal or higher than Black use. But arrests and convictions are higher in Black people. Wonder why that would be? Nothing to see here, move along.

Heroin is way way better.

You would still need a Dr. to get a medical card. With a medical card, you don’t pay outrageous taxes and there are products available to medical card holders that aren’t available to the general public. In MA, it costs $150 per year to get certified for a medical card, but there are several dispensaries that give new and renewals of medical cards a $200 credit. There are many great medical products that don’t get you high, but they are great anti inflammatories, help relive pain, help one sleep like a baby, and provide incredible energy boosts for working out.

Just say no to drugs. Keep your money.

I went to my primary who is registered with the state to approve your card.Then I went on the state web sight MMUR Registry and applied it was 75.00 ,and card will come within two weeks in the mail. All my paper work was done with primary. If you go to the businesses doing it ,you ll pay out of the nose ,see if your primary is registered for you to apply with him.All paperwork can be done with primary .

Do you drink alcohol?

Yes, there is a cheaper way. Groupon has discounted doctors in their email offerings. Go to groupon.com and do a search.

Do you remember the name? I tried Google Maps to search nearby, but found nothing obvious.

So here we are again. The OP asked for a cheaper way to obtain a medical marijuana card and now we're off on a dissertation distilling a complicated issue to black and white and the criminal justice system. What musical did the song "Johnny One Note" come from???? Is "white" use of weed higher than "black"---probably, but the population of the former is much higher. Are arrests and convictions higher in one group---probably. But is that because of some nefarious plan to "ensnare" minorities---doubt it. Consider that each individual case of drug arrests is different. Perhaps one group has had multiple prior arrests while the other may have more 1st time offenders. Perhaps one group pays for their drugs with dollars and the other bullets. Perhaps the quantities are different. I don't know, but the knee jerk reaction to blame everything on race is not helpful.

You obviously don't suffer from chronic pain. I have tried many pain relievers, OTC and prescribed. Not a good outcome from most. I'm trying medical marijuana to see if it works. You sound like Nancy Reagan.

Likker is Quikker!

I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

DocMJ is 189.00 every 7 months, State is 75.00 a year. If a lower cost Doc around someone, please post it. Like another poster said better then getting busted. No hangovers or liver disease either. With discounts better buy then booze: Military 20% senior 10% specials 20 -35% off.

After the government gets involved, nothing is cheaper. Remember, for the government to give you anything they first have to steal it from someone else.

Woodstock Medicinal, (lol). Dr. Andrew Fox. he's in the complex where the senior center is, right after the dental office. there are buildings throughout the complex, this one is in the rear, so park in back.

Oh, You~! :1rotfl::1rotfl:

:bigbow::clap2:

If you can’t afford a doctor , standing down wind from my lanai may be a cheaper option , who needs a doctor , when you have the same magic man for 10 years .. also when home in Boston I can eliminate the middleman man and buy over the counter

What is delta 8 ?

Delta 8 is a synthetic product that may or not be legal or safe that gives off a lower high then delta 9 , it hasn’t been researched enough so who knows , I’m a regular user , maybe one joint , sometimes 2 , I wouldn’t bother with it but I’m old fashioned. about my weed I just like regular nice buds lol

Is your Doctor stoned
 

This is what I have learned since getting my card. The word Doctor is a joke when it comes to this subject. Use products at your own risk. The Doctors and the state are only in it for the money. There is no science or real quality control behind the safety. The so called quality controls are independent labs hired by the the manufacturer.

The fox is in charge of the Hen house.

funny story--each year when i renew, there are a list of recommendations on how to use & when. the recent advisory states i should smoke outside (!) on my own property. can you imagine that? 2 things will happen: one of my concerned neighbors may call the police, OR i will have everyone in Haven Villas @ my door, all long-lost friends :shocked:

First of all, your primary physician is involved and has to document that you have medical issues that would qualify you for the benefits of marajuana. You don’t just walk into a marajuana clinic signing up for it. Yes, it is expensive, but it’s also safer as you have no idea what the kid at the school yard is selling..

Maybe in theory, but in reality, your primary care physician wants nothing to do with it. He/she'll be happy to refer you to a licensed marijuana practitioner with a diagnosis that justifies it, but then will gracefully (and quickly) bow out. He will not want to deny you, nor will he want to deal with the red tape that is inevitable. Then, you go to the marijuana clinic where they will spend 5 minutes and give you a card for about $300. Then you go to a dispensary and get some THC product---but not to smoke. I hold a Colorado license and one of these "so called doctors" tried to recruit me, even though I practiced and lived in NY. The first such "doctors" that got into this (when it was only medical marijuana in Colorado) also owned the dispensaries and were grossing $ 1 million/ month------yes, per MONTH. I have no use for this type of "physician", and I doubt Florida is any different. I would like to ask my good friend blue for her opinion as well.

Don't you have to a sponsor before you can advertise your business

Simple solution
 

You are over thinking this. Just find yourself a Millennial . . .
