Priya and Kunal are on a group call with three cousins in three different states, and everybody is quoting a different number. “Mine was free.” “Mine was fifty.” “Mine’s still pending.” Nobody’s wrong. It’s the state fee doing its quiet math, and it changes everything.

Short version: the video visit costs a flat $74.99 for everyone, and the state registration fee on top is what makes the totals differ. Some states charge $0, some charge $50, and Arizona can reach about $150. That gap sits behind most cheap cannabis card comparisons, so it’s worth mapping out.

The Flat Part Is Easy

Every patient pays just $74.99, with code 75off. The page says there are no tiers, so a cousin in Texas and a cousin in Ohio pay the same evaluation fee. Priya finds that oddly comforting, since it means only one number is still a mystery.

And that number only applies if the physician approves, because the page says you pay only if approved. Kunal asks what happens if the physician says no. The page answers that too: a money back guarantee, so the evaluation fee isn’t lost.

The $0 Group

Ohio and New York list $0 for state registration, and so does New Jersey, which adds a free state ID card. In those states the total stays at $74.99, and that’s it. Anyone hunting the cheapest marijuana card total will look here first. The Ohio cousin gets to say “mine was free” without stretching the truth much.

Maryland deserves its own line, since the page says its card is free and digital. Minnesota lists free state enrollment too. Priya notes that “free” here means the state piece, not the evaluation, which still costs $74.99 if approved.

The No State Fee Group

Virginia and Texas list no state fee, and Connecticut and Louisiana don’t either. Texas has a twist, though. The page says Texas issues a low THC cannabis prescription, not a card, so the word “card” doesn’t quite fit there.

Kunal’s cousin in Texas says she’ll read the details closely before she books. Good plan. Rules differ by state, and the page says medical marijuana laws vary, so no single description covers everybody on the call.

The $50 Group

Pennsylvania and West Virginia list $50. The page says Pennsylvania waives it for many patients, and West Virginia can waive it for lower income patients. So the number on paper may not be the number anyone pays, which is the good kind of surprise.

Add the evaluation fee and the total reads $124.99 before any waiver. The Pennsylvania cousin hopes to qualify for the waiver but doesn’t count on it. A waiver isn’t promised on the page, only possible.

One Number Per Cousin

Priya builds a shared note to stop the confusion. Each cousin gets one line with two parts: the evaluation fee, which is $74.99 for everyone, and the state fee, which is whatever their state says. Add them together and the argument ends.

It sounds too simple, but it works. The Ohio cousin writes $74.99, the Pennsylvania cousin writes $124.99 with a question mark for the waiver, and the Arizona cousin writes a number near $224.99. A cheap cannabis card comparison gets calmer once every number has a label.

The Group Chat Rules

Priya sets two rules for the chat: say which state, and say which part of the price you mean. “Free” might mean the state registration, and “cheap” might mean the evaluation. Without those labels, three cousins can describe the same visit and sound like they’re lying. Priya types both rules in capital letters and pins them to the top of the chat.

Kunal adds a third rule, which is that nobody gives medical advice. The page gives none either, and it says laws vary by state. Everyone agrees, mostly because it’s late and the call has already run long.

The Arkansas Exception

Priya’s aunt isn’t on the call, and she’s a special case. Arkansas is listed for renewals only, and the page says new patients there must have an in person first visit. So the aunt’s situation depends on whether she’s renewing or starting out.

For renewals, the page lists the Arkansas visit at $74.99 with code 75off, the same flat number as everywhere else. Priya passes that along and tells her aunt to read the Arkansas details herself. Rules vary, and a family group chat isn’t a legal source.

Twenty States and Counting

The page says it serves the 20 plus states where telehealth medical cannabis certification is legal, and it lists twenty as live. Kunal counts them out loud and loses track somewhere around Michigan, which gets a laugh from everybody on the call.

The page also says more state guides are coming, so the count may grow. For now, it’s enough to know that the cousins’ three states are all on the list. Priya saves that line in the note, right under the numbers, for the next time somebody asks.

The Arizona Stretch

Arizona can run up to about $150, the highest state number on the page. With the evaluation fee on top, that’s close to $224.99 at the high end. The Arizona cousin sighs and says the visit was the cheap part.

Still, a cheap cannabis card doesn’t have to mean a low state fee. It means one flat evaluation price with no extras, and the state decides the rest. Priya underlines that on her notepad, twice, because it explains the whole call.

What Changes After the Card

State perks aren’t part of the service, but they shape budgets. Maryland, Minnesota, Connecticut, and New Jersey list tax free purchases, while Missouri and Montana list a 4% medical tax. Illinois lists a home grow limit of 5 plants, and Michigan lists 12.

None of that is guaranteed to stay the same, because medical marijuana laws vary by state and shift. The page says so plainly, and it gives no medical advice. Treat every number here as a starting point and check your state’s current rules before booking.

Where the Call Ended

By the end, each cousin had one number to compare. The visit is flat, the state fee moves, and the cheapest marijuana card total depends on where you live. Priya types the numbers into the group chat and everybody goes quiet, which is the sound of people finally agreeing.
