It can cost a lot of cash to remain a medical cannabis patient

I was entirely gleeful when I heard that my state was going to vote on medical marijuana 7 years ago.

My buddy and I had gone through several election cycles where we could not get the issue put on the ballot.

When we finally got medical marijuana on the ballot, it didn’t pass the first time around. I live in a state where you have to get over 60% of the vote to pass a constitutional amendment. It’s a smart plan because you do not want a simple majority to change the state’s constitution, or we would have swings in our state’s Constitution every single election cycle. Therefore the state gave the threshold of 60%, which meant that we had to get at least 60% of the vote to pass medical marijuana in the state constitution. The first time we almost hit 60, and the second time we got over 79% of the vote. However at the time, I wasn’t expecting all of these expenses. As a medical cannabis patient I have to pay the state department of health $79 once a year just to renew my medical marijuana card. Then I have to see a medical marijuana physician twice a year for my medical marijuana recommendation. The medical marijuana recommendation is essentially like a physician’s prescription for a drug. But since these aren’t normal drugs, they’re not considered prescriptions. Between all the expenses being a medical patient, I have to spend between $300 and $400 a year. The only saving grace as a medical cannabis patient is the fact that medical marijuana products have dropped in price of the last 2 years. It’s a lot cheaper to buy cannabis flower products these mornings and it was when I first became a medical marijuana patient.

It can cost a lot of money to remain a medical cannabis patient

I was really excited when I heard that my state was going to vote on medical marijuana 7 years ago.

My pal and I had gone through several election cycles where my associate and I could not get the issue put on the ballot. When my associate and I finally got medical marijuana on the ballot, it didn’t pass the first time around. I live in a state where you have to get over 60% of the vote to pass a constitutional amendment. It’s a smart plan because you do not want a easy majority to change the state’s constitution, or my associate and I would have changes in our state’s Constitution every single election cycle. Therefore the state gave the threshold of 60%, which meant that my associate and I had to get at least 60% of the vote to pass medical marijuana in the state constitution. The first time my associate and I almost hit 60, as well as the second time my associate and I got over 70% of the vote. However at the time, I wasn’t expecting all of these expenses. As a medical cannabis patient I have to pay the state department of health $69 once a year just to renew my medical marijuana card.

The only saving grace as a medical cannabis patient is the fact that medical marijuana products have dropped in price of the last 2 years. It’s a lot cheaper to buy cannabis flower products these days as well as it was when I first became a medical marijuana patient.

The cost of medical cannabis has sharply decreased in my state

I never thought I would see anything decrease in price amid the inflation going on over the last few years! Granted, the price and gasoline goes up and down all the time, but I haven’t entirely seen it drop below $3 in at least 4 years.

I got to a point where I pretty much expect everything to increase in price now.

Even the cost of bread has gone up at least 20 to 30% regardless of what brand you buy. I know eggs doubled in price recently and in some sites they started to go down again, although the cost of potatoes is still regularly high. It’s frustrating trying to budget when you’re making the same amount of money all the time… However, I’m paying a lot less money for cannabis products this year than I was in 2020 for instance. Back then it was at least $50 for a quality jar of cannabis flower products, however you could get an eighth of an ounce for that cost, however now the same amount of cannabis is only $35 at the same store. Other cannabis companies have put out similar products for $20 or less. It’s incredible to see how cost-effective it is to buy marijuana in 2023 in my particular state. I cannot speak for the cannabis markets and other states, however our medical cannabis industry here is definitely decreasing in cost for products across the board. It’s incredible to see how budget-friendly a lot of these cannabis companies have become over the last couple of years, however people can finally afford to use marijuana effectively.

The medical marijuana helps with my insomnia complications

I have not been able to sleep honestly well for the last couple of months.

I have had a lot of stress at work plus it has been taxing to fall asleep plus stay asleep for more than a couple of hours.

Medical marijuana helps a lot with my insomnia complications. I went to the dentist plus I told him that I was having trouble sleeping. The first thing that she asked was if I tried some over-the-counter remedies. I had tried everything plus nothing worked. The dentist told me to go to the recreational plus medical marijuana dispensary to purchase something with CBD. The dentist did not recommend Medical marijuana, however it was in the dispensary plus one of the products that the budtender suggested to me. The budtender listened to everything that I had to say when I explained my complications with insomnia plus sleeplessness. The girl seemed to be generally interested in everything that I was saying plus she was a honestly fantastic salesman, however she talked to me into $200 worth of THC plus CBD products when I was only going to buy one item to try, then one of the first things that I had was a 1:1 product. The cannabis plus CBD product had 5 mg of THC plus 5 mg of CBD. I had one of the gummies about an hour before I went to bed, then after 3 days of gummies, I had the first fantastic night of rest in 3 months. I have tried a couple of the unusual products that I purchased, plus there are some clear number ones already.

Making cannabis deliveries

I only make cannabis deliveries so I can smoke for free.

The outdated expression goes “don’t get high on your own supply” but that was all I ever did! I didn’t care about running a corporation or turning a profit, I just wanted to move enough product so that I could get high for free.

It was the same thing as having a job, only instead of getting a paycheck I got free cannabis! Considering how much weed I smoke everyday, this requires a lot of work! The guy I toil for is a local supplier named Ben, who runs a small farm plus uses me as a delivery guy! Ben’s operation is illegal plus cash-based, so neither one of us worry too much about paying taxes; Every weekend I spent a few hours making cannabis deliveries throughout this rural area, plus in return I got a nice fat sack of homegrown weed. Another bonus is that I get to spend a lot of time driving, which actually calms me. As a matter of respected sense I never get high while I am making my cannabis deliveries. I need to stay sharp, since technically I am committing a crime I need to make sure I don’t get pulled over by the cops, who would find my felony quantity of cannabis in the trunk. Since I am a nice driver I never had any troubles, plus regularly made my cannabis runs on time. Some of the clients would even tip me, in cash or in cannabis, plus that regularly made my day.
