Dr appointments vary, and where from 75 to 150.
App with the state, 100
If you do not get a rejection letter with in 21 days from when they cash your check or money order you are legal.
Actually receiving the card can take up to 6 months.

if you can get your regular doctor to sign off on your condition that the $100 isnt needed. The $$ only is needed from those looking to another Dr. other than their regular one. My doc is free due to my ongoing chronic condition and failure of regular Pharmaceuticals in keeping down the inflammation but the state is $100 every year and it was a 6 month wait for the first time and now its 4-6 weeks for my last 2 renewals.

Everybody's gotta make a living and if these kind doctors weren't out there doing what they're doing (the reputable ones at least), the state of affairs would be very bad for patients seeking recommendations from their primary doctors, who more often than not, refuse to put their signature on the application, leaving patients flapping in the wind.

Nope not really. My wife has insurance and her oncologist wouldn't sign off on the application while she was going through radiation which forced us to go to a pot-doc specialist and had to pay $100 for the consultation, so in no way is it free for anybody.

People on Social Security only pay the state $25 if they qualify as low-income.
ok I need to clarify, I paid the $20 co-pay that my insurance requires, Yoopeee, $20.
I didnt have to pay the $100+ to some strange doc for a "condition" that my regular doc hasnt already treated with Rx drugs.

You didn't just compare a for profit caregiver and a doctor did you ?
You did, you really did... Lmao..
Yes, I did. How are they not comparable? Both provide help people with medical issues for money, and some provide help free of charge on the side as well.
By responding with comments like "LMAO FAIL" etc. you're just making yourself look like a mindless asshole. Put some thought into your posts. Make some real arguments. All you do is make wild accusations and sling shit.

Only an idiot would argue with an idiot, so if you are looking for something to argue I suggest you go find another idiot like yourself and enjoy your evening.
But to answer your asinine question, about $110,000 worth of an education and years of study, research and practice along with a state board licensing requirement. A license to practice as well as a business license and millions in insurance.
Not to leave out the legality of the whole thing. It is illegal to sell marijuana or to profit from it in any way.
Becoming a caregiver take 21 years of growth and a willing patient. That's it.
Is it clicking yet du du du dumb ass ?

seeing these uneccesary insults really detracts from an otherwise enjoyable, intelligent forum session.

Keep in mind joc, not everybody's primary or specialist doctor is on board with medical marijuana based on politics and not research or efficacy. (i.e. my wife's oncologist for one who refused to sign) They simply stonewall every single patient that may benefit based on simple bias.
I will admit there are far too many shade tree doctors out there doing business right now who are not properly following the law with registrations but the system will eventually weed out the scam artists. These doctors who are specializing in seeing potential medical marijuana patients are a necessity to our system. Take a look at canada's system where the federal government ok'd mmj 10 years ago but it's nearly impossible for most patients to actually find a doctor who will even fill out the paperwork. What good is a system designed to help people if the doctors who are the gatekeepers to that system keep the gate's chained shut?
