Savings Greetings! Save Money this Season with Medical Cannabis
Tis the season of giving! But unfortunately, this year there have been unforeseen circumstances and the COVID-19 pandemic has been hitting most people very hard. Whether it is financially, physically or emotionally, we have all experienced some sort of hardship this year. Because of these reasons, we want to make it a bit easier for you to get your cannabis. In this article are many of the ways you can save money on your cannabis medicine! It just takes a little research!
GEtting your medical card
This is the first step because you cannot get your medicine without your card and it can be a straightforward process. You must fall under one of Massachusetts qualifying conditions and there are many, so look and see if you may qualify and then the next step is to look for a doctor. We are partnered with Medwell Health and Wellness and below is a link to their website is above. Our next Monthly Q+A webinar on this very subject being covered in our blog post. It is titled “Savings Greetings: How can you maximize your savings while accessing affordable Medical Cannabis?” Here is the link for more information: Monthly Q+A
Tip: Look around for a doctor who suits your specific needs and gives discounts based on financial needs, veteran status, senior status, and other ways you may qualify for further discounts. There are many, so here is a link to all the Cannabis Physicians in MA.
Here is some of how Medwell Health and Wellness may be able to help you with safety and savings:
TeleMed
We also wanted to make sure everyone knew that an alternative method of receiving your medical card has been available since the start of Covid, and that is through Telemedicine. This allows for you to be remote and sign on to some form of video conferencing so you don’t have to risk going into a doctor’s office. The option of in person appointments is still available but be sure to wear your masks, social distance and be respectful to the health care workers who are risking their lives to help you with your medical marijuana needs. For more information on Telemedicine through Medwell Health and Wellness, check out this link: Medwell: Telemedicine
What kinds of discounts are offered for medical cards?
We want to share with you some offers that Medwell Health and Wellness offers so you can see what can be offered and then how to research for yourself so you can find the best offers for you!
First and foremost, if you look at this picture below, it shows just some discounts offered by Medwell Health and Wellness. New MMJ patients are a pretty standard $175 BUT if you are a veteran with 50%-99% disability you get your card for only $100. If you are 100% disabled, you get your card for FREE. They also do other promotions! As of right now, if you are in the industry, your card only costs $75 AND you can refer a friend or family member for the same price!
Dispensary Discounts and Promotions at Dispensaries
Next, we want to share with you some opportunities you have to save money at dispensaries. We have lots of discounts here at CAC and high-quality products BUT we really want to ensure you understand that this is your medicine and we are here first to say “Find what works for you.” With that being said, here are some points to consider when shopping:
There is no tax.
Recreational cannabis has a nearly 20% tax and some municipalities will raise that tax even further. There are also far fewer discounts and promotions with recreational cannabis. In the long run, you will have many more savings with a medical card, even though there is an upfront cost.
First Time and Renewal Discounts at almost every medical dispensary
At CAC, our First Time Discount is $100 off of $200 dollars OR $50 off of $100 twice. YOU also don’t have to use it the first time you come in. You just have to redeem it before you renew your card because that is ANOTHER discount; $50 off of $200! Most dispensaries have these discounts so shop around because the next point we have.
Shop around at dispensaries and you will make back most of your First Time Discount.
If you come to us here at CAC, $100 credit is already most of the cost of your card right back in your pocket. We all want you to get your medicine and experience whatever pain relief you are seeking. Cannabis is an amazing medicine and you shouldn’t be spending an arm and a leg to be relieving your arm and your leg!
Financial hardship discounts, Veteran discounts, Daily Deals and more.
Most medical dispensaries also do a Financial Hardship discount and Veteran discount and ours is 10% for each! We also do discounts for Seniors 62+, Industry Workers, Teachers, and Students. Also, the first page of our menu is filled with our Daily Deals and Promotions! Here is the link to our Menu and a list explaining all of our every day discounts:
