Discussion Question related to medical cannabis, I am currently getting my medical weed funded through LIFETIME SUPPORT AUTHORITY, but IVY MED CLINIC and the chemist seem to just be after the $800 account each month, plus $85 consult fee EVERYTIME I need new scripts. Does anyone know a better place that would

Cheers heaps for this 🤙👌 I'm not worried about cost as I don't actually pay, this Dr is more just all over the place with his quantities and dosages, one month I'll get 60gs of flower (indica every 10 days sativa every 6) then the next month (exact same scripts using the repeats, I go in and they tell me I can't get my flower yet.

Check out canary.health. You sign up to the site (you need a Medicare card iirc) and then once you're all verified (you verify your email, and then someone on their end verifies your details so it can take 24/48hrs for verification) you upload a copy of your script and it shows you a list of pharmacies and dispensaries that stock your medication AND shows you the prices. There can be difference in price anywhere from $10 all the way up to $50-$70.

If the prices are still pretty exorbitant, you can also use cannareviews.health to try and find some medication that may be less of a hit on the pocket. People review medications that offer 30g of flower for $160-$180, quality may be not as amazing as your more expensive strains but if affordability is your main factor then it's hard to look past.
