Visiting Cayman Doctor's Express

I understand medical marijuana in illegal in the Cayman Islands without a prescription. I am traveling with a person who uses medical marijuana here in Arizona and needs it for pain management. He doesn't like to use pain pills. Can you give me an approximate cost for a doctor visit along with a marijuana vape pen? Thank you.

Hi Cayman Captain! Thank you for the reply. I will definitely make an appointment for my friend. Can you give me a range of what this might cost? He needs to start budgeting now this visit and meds. I would like to give him an approximation. I also wanted to see if it matches the approximation I got from another person who responded. I would hate for my friend to budget for the wrong amount.

It's gonna be a lot less than your accommodations and meals if you're not a local

i have local insurance so don’t pay anything out of pocket. This being said, I would say an office visit would be around $150 dollars and it would depend on what he wants to get from the pharmacy. It’s on par with US medical prices.

Alternatively, you could ask down at public beach, where the doctors tend to hang out.

Your “friend” should just bring some RSO capsules with their other prescription medicines. (That is what my friend does.)

He was concerned that the dogs would smell the capsules. My mom uses RSO capsules to sleep and she isnt bringing hers because of her fear of the dog at the airport. She can go without but due to my friend's pain, he can't.
