Initially it cost $300 to get my MMC, $150 DR and $150 state registration. To renew my card it will cost the same because I need to go through DR verification again. I have severe, chronic back, neck pain and chronic headache. This has been a 12 yr problem which had me on Morphine, Methadone and Oxycontin. Thanks to MM I was able to quit all narcotic medication by using marijuana. I am a disabled vet and my VA DR can't write my referral for marijuana but can prescribe any narcotic which makes no sense to me. Now I need to go to a Store Front DR that don't know me or my medical history. Big problem for me cause insurance doesn't pay DR or MM so I need to pay $300 to renew my MMC and $150 to $300 per month for MM. We/I need help because I live on disability and can't afford medication or the cost of renewal. I think it is also important to separate medical use from recreational use so it can be quality controlled and dosed.
