What Is the Cost of a Medical Marijuana Card in Vermont in 2026?

There are two main costs associated with obtaining a medical marijuana card in Vermont.

Physician Certification: Patients must be certified by a Vermont-licensed healthcare professional authorized to recommend medical cannabis. The cost of a medical marijuana evaluation varies by provider and is paid directly to the healthcare professional. Some providers may offer discounts for certain patients.

Registration Fee: After receiving certification, patients must pay a state application fee to the Vermont Medical Cannabis Program when registering for the medical cannabis program. The standard patient registration fee is $50, payable to the Cannabis Control Board. These state fees do not include any healthcare provider consultation costs.

Some dispensaries in Vermont may offer discounts or assistance programs for veterans or low-income patients. Availability varies, so patients should check directly with licensed dispensaries for details on any special offerings.
