my mate uses the reddit subreddit for strain reccomendations, apparently some are much cheaper than others so consider going to the appointment pre-loaded with a few preferred cheaper strains to request... because you mention finance.
I went with a provider that does concession discounted products. 10g containers for $70 each.
The doctor felt like a salesman though, he tried to upsell me on $500 more of non-concession products. Which I still would get a 10% discount on, but it came out to way way more than I can afford lol. He clearly didn't want me only getting the discounted products.
I know literally nothing about weed (medical or otherwise) but that sounds like a ripoff. Is that the price this really goes for? $70 for 10g?
Years ago my cat's old vet suggested CBD oil for her arthritis and told me a site (can no longer remember it, I was sus about it and turns out it was not legal to buy online without a script anyway). But the prices I saw there, while steep, worked out better than that.
There was also some planned deal in the works with Priceline and Chemist Warehouse for selling over the counter CBD oil, because that is technically made legal now, but I've heard nothing further so it might be stuck in development hell.
Edit: I think waiting on TGA guidelines or something.

$70 for 10 grams is pretty solid. It's flower, which is different to oils.
That said, the prescription oils I saw on their website cost more so idk
That is a reasonable price. 10g goes a long way unless you're a massive fiend
For real? Wow ๐ฅ
Edit: Then again I'm about to start paying like $90 a pop (monthly) for my cat to have Solensia shots and just forked out $60-ish for her urine test, so I guess it might be worth it if it lasts and works.
Yeh. Compare it to alcohol for example, 1g of marijuana is probably enough for a lot of people for 1 day, so thats like $7 per day. Not bad
