The prices of edibles have nearly doubled
Prices on everything are on the rise. Inflation is alive and well, even right now during one of the worst times that our country has ever seen. My wife and I go to the grocery store every Saturday. We stock up on canned goods, paper products, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Each week I see the prices on products getting higher and higher. 10 cents each week adds up to a large amount of money after two or three months in a row. Even the cost of medical cannabis has gone up. My wife has a prescription for medical cannabis. She suffers from multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis is a debilitating disease that affects the central nervous system. The disease causes deterioration and often permanent damage to the central nervous system. There is unfortunately no cure for the disease, but many treatments can slow down the attacks and keep them from reoccurring frequently. My wife was given the MS diagnosis 10 years ago. Shortly after the diagnosis, the doctor wrote my wife a prescription for medical cannabis. We saw the prices stay the same for a long time, but they have recently started to climb just like eggs, bread, and wine. The cost of medical marijuana has gone up by 15% in the last 6 months. The prices of edibles have nearly doubled. It’s insane to see the prices some places are charging. I sincerely hope that this is the last increase we will see, because we already spend a fortune on this medicine that is not covered by health insurance.
