There's medical, and anxiety is one of the conditions, so you need to pay to talk to a doctor to get certified for a card. So more or less legal with the tax being paying for recertification and a new card every year. But you can buy ounces of 30% buds for $140, so it is definitely better than when it was illegal.

I can drive 5 minutes to NJ and get really good stuff with the lowest taxes of the surrounding states. It is kind of crazy that every state touching PA has it recreational, yet we don’t.

I've found the prices better in PA medical. I was without a card for a bit and was shopping in Jersey for a bit.

[–] mx_smith@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah I would expect medical to be a lot cheaper. Jersey is only 6% which is really good compared to Delaware, Maryland and NY. Let’s not even talk about Illinois their taxes are dependent on how much THC is present in a concentrate or oil.

I've been thinking about getting my medical card. There's a distributor right down the road from me and I've had some wonderful gummies by way of friends that have the card.

I got a business card at the dispensary for a $45 dollar consultation if you want the info

Definitely! Check at the dispensary. The one I go to has flyers or business cards for doctors with good prices. The good thing is prices are much cheaper for renewals than initial certifications.
