If you’re thinking about getting certified, one of the first questions is:
How much does a medical cannabis card cost in Minnesota?
The good news is that the process is typically simple, transparent, and more affordable than many people expect.
What Makes Up the Cost?
In Minnesota, the process generally includes two steps:
1. Provider Evaluation
A licensed healthcare provider evaluates your condition and determines if you qualify.
This evaluation includes a provider fee for the medical assessment and certification
2. State Registration
After certification, patients complete registration with the Minnesota program.
Currently, there is no fee for state registration
