What Should Duluth Patients Expect to Pay for Medical Cannabis Registration in 2026?

For Duluth patients, the main expense in 2026 is the certification appointment with a Minnesota-licensed healthcare provider. Minnesota does not charge a state registration or enrollment fee for the Medical Cannabis Program, so patients do not pay an additional state card fee after certification. The annual patient enrollment fee was eliminated effective July 1, 2023.

Provider Certification Visit

Patients must be evaluated and certified by a Minnesota-licensed healthcare provider authorized to certify medical cannabis patients. The appointment cost depends on the provider, visit type, and whether the evaluation is completed online or in person.

A practical estimate is about $50 to $250 for the certification appointment. Some online providers may offer lower promotional rates, while certain clinics may charge around $200 to $250 for certification or recertification visits.

State Enrollment Fee

Minnesota does not charge a state registration fee for medical cannabis enrollment. After certification, Duluth patients complete enrollment through the Medical Cannabis Registry without paying an additional state application fee.

Possible Discounts

Some clinics, online certification services, or dispensaries may offer reduced pricing, promotional appointments, or assistance for eligible patients. Availability varies, so Duluth patients should check directly with the provider before booking.
