Saving money on a medical marijuana card may seem like an oxymoron: after all, you have to spend money to get one. But, did you know that medical cannabis costs way less than recreational weed? 

 

That’s right: while your adult-use cannabis is often subject to high sales taxes, MMJ isn’t.

 

While the amount of medical marijuana savings can vary by state, there are tons of benefits and the medical marijuana savings often far exceed the medical marijuana card cost.

Can You Save Money With a Medical Marijuana Card?

So, how is it possible to actually save money with a medical card? 

Below, we’ve broken down a few ways getting your MMJ card can boost your marijuana savings: 

  • Lower Taxes: Medical marijuana often faces lower taxes, translating to reduced costs for patients over time.
  • Potential Insurance Coverage: Health insurance may cover medical marijuana costs for qualifying conditions, cutting your out-of-pocket expenses.
  • Quality Assurance: Stricter quality controls for medical cannabis enhance consistency, reducing the need for additional purchases due to product issues.
  • Access to Medical Discounts: Medical cardholders can enjoy dispensary discounts, accumulating significant savings over time.
  • Higher Purchase Limits: Medical cardholders typically have higher purchase limits, which can be cost-effective for those needing larger quantities for medical reasons as you can access bulk discounts.

Understanding Medical Marijuana Costs and Savings

While obtaining a medical marijuana card does come with initial costs, such as doctor’s recommendations and application fees, these costs are quickly offset by long-term savings through reduced taxes, discounts, and access to higher purchase limits. 

 

It’s essential to consider your specific medical needs and local regulations when deciding whether a medical marijuana card will save you money. 

 

Consulting with a healthcare professional knowledgeable about medical cannabis can also help you make an informed decision.

 

Our network of medical marijuana professionals can walk you through the process. They’ll answer any questions you might have in your initial consultation.

About the author

Aspen Noonan isn’t your average CEO, and she’s not trying to be. As the powerhouse behind Elevate Holistics, Aspen is on a mission to make medical marijuana access easier, faster, and way less intimidating. What started with answering phones and scheduling appointments turned into building one of the most trusted telehealth platforms in cannabis. She's certified through Cannabis Training University and Healer.com, but her real education? Listening to patients and living it herself. Aspen isn’t just running a company. She’s helping lead a movement. A cannabis patient, mom, and fierce believer in plant medicine, she’s working to normalize weed in a world that still whispers about it. Her take? If you can unwind with a glass of wine, you should be able to do the same with cannabis. No shame, no stigma, no side-eye. Inside the business, Aspen runs a tight ship built on the strong foundation already in place. She’s focused on making patients happy, improving systems, and finding smarter ways to work. Since taking the reins at Elevate Holistics, she’s streamlined turnaround times, improved tech, and introduced a four-day workweek to support team balance and performance. She believes burnout is out. Balance is in. And when teams feel good, they do great work. Outside of Elevate, Aspen mentors other entrepreneurs (especially women breaking into crowded spaces), helps patients feel seen and empowered, and occasionally jumps on a podcast to speak the truth about cannabis and leadership. You may have heard her on Getting Elevated with Aspen Noonan (CannaBlogger’s Corner) and The Healing Plant: Cannabis Myths vs. Medical Miracles (Life Conversations with a Twist) -  insights that dive deep into plant medicine, leadership, and breaking stigma. She also trained Arlee Riveland, now CEO of Craft Telemedicine, and she’s just getting started. Aspen’s not here to follow rules. She’s here to rewrite them. For healthcare. For cannabis. For women in business. And for her daughter, who she hopes sees every day that purpose, power, and balance can all belong in the same life.
