Does Michigan have a medical program?

Yes, medical cannabis is legal in Michigan. With the passing of the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act in 2008, Michigan became the thirteenth state in the country to allow medical marijuana.

What are the rules for medical use?

The Michigan Medical Marihuana Act says that to become a medical marijuana patient, a person must be identified by a doctor with at least one of the qualifying debilitating medical conditions.

In Michigan, a qualified medical cannabis patient can get a certification from a state-licensed doctor through telehealth and then use the LARA portal to apply for a medical marijuana card online. It is required that anyone filing for a Michigan Medical Marijuana Program Registry Card live in the state and show proof of residency.

In Michigan, minors can get medical marijuana cards as long as their parents or legal guardians agree in writing that they will serve as the patient’s caretaker.

More than 2.5 ounces and up to 5 ounces of marijuana in your possession is a civil crime that can get you up to a $500 fine if it’s your first time. Michigan’s marijuana rules say that adults can have up to 10 ounces of marijuana in their homes as long as they store the extra in a secure location.
