The cheapest way to get an<\/span> Ohio medical marijuana card<\/span><\/a> is to focus on the one cost that’s left. Ohio’s Division of Cannabis Control (DCC) cut the state registration fee from $50 a year to one cent in March 2024, then eliminated it in May 2024. That leaves the physician evaluation as your main expense.<\/span><\/p>\n

This guide shows what you pay, where you can save, and how to check a physician before you book, so you can choose an evaluation with confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Are the Real Costs of an Ohio Medical Card?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Two costs apply to an Ohio medical card: the state registration fee and the physician evaluation. According to the DCC’s<\/span> February 2024 notice<\/span><\/a>, patients paid $50 a year and caregivers paid $25 before the fee dropped to $0.01 on March 4, 2024. The DCC then<\/span> eliminated the fee<\/span><\/a> on May 15, 2024, so patients and caregivers can now activate or renew a registration without a payment. Here’s what getting a card costs today with Veriheal:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
