What does Medical Cannabis cost in Florida?

There are several options for purchasing Medical Cannabis for patients in Florida.

The table below covers basic information such as product types, deals, and delivery options. The following table contains individual price comparisons for different dispensaries and individual products.

The cost of Medical Cannabis products varies for different dispensaries and amount of product. Dispensaries have a wide array of different products such as vaporizer cartridges, vaporizer cups, concentrate syringes, tinctures/oil, oral capsules/suppositories, topicals, patches, and even oral sprays. The table below displays the cost of individual Medical Cannabis products from different dispensaries in Florida.

Individual Product Pricing

Based on the tables above, one can see that different dispensaries offer different products at varying price points and sizes. Some dispensaries have a larger selection than others. The Medical Cannabis market will continue to expand, leading to an increase in products and lower prices overall. The initial cost of Medical Cannabis products is higher, but as more and more people become Medical Cannabis patients, companies will be able to offer their products at a lower price.

There are several factors that determine the cost of Medical Cannabis from dispensaries:

• Quality – This is fairly self explanatory; the higher the quality of the product, the more it’s going to cost.
• Quantity – Also a simple concept; as quantity increases, so does the price. You’re getting more product, so it’s going to cost more. However, the overall cost will actually be less in the long run because typically, when you purchase more Medical Cannabis (in bulk), there are various discounts as well as lower unit price (per milligram), to get more bang for your buck.
• Type of  Product – Cost varies based on different products/forms of consumption. For example, oral capsules cost more than flower or concentrates such as waxes and oils.
• Competition – Generally, if you live in an area with many different dispensaries, you can probably purchase Medical Cannabis at lower prices. Offering deals and discounts helps a dispensary stand out and attract more patients.

Discounts & Promotions

Various dispensaries offer deals and packages. Medical Cannabis is just like any other product in the aspect of buying in bulk. Generally, the more Medical Cannabis you purchase, the more the price decreases. Trulieve, Surterra, Curaleaf, and Grow Healthy all offer these types of discounts when you buy more. (ex: Trulieve $75 off $100- yearly with card approval).

Additional Costs for Medical Cannabis

To be able to go to any dispensary, having a recommendation for Medical Cannabis is a necessity. Recommendation costs vary depending on numerous factors. Patients in Florida awre required to register with the State and obtain a recommendation from a doctor. The recommendation also needs to be renewed every 7 months. Once a recommendation is obtained, the cost for the Medical Cannabis card itself is $75 to the state of Florida.
