I checked prices (MM is legal in Arizona) for just one dose, it would be between $300-$425 just for the weed. That's not including the required "medical marijuana recommendation" which costs up to $200. Then you're having to pay for paper or pipes.

I agree Big Pharma is a racket, but Big Weed is not much better.
When compared to the cost of prescription meds (if coming out of pocket), and their side effects, it's a small price to pay. As a lot of vets will tell you, just compared to the side effects of prescription meds, it's a small price to pay. But a lot of vets look at it like start up costs... and grow their own.
