About Medical Marijuana in Michigan

According to the Marijuana Regulatory Agency, Michigan has more than a dozen conditions that qualify residents for a medical marijuana card. The list includes the following debilitating medical conditions:

  • Agitation of Alzheimer’s disease
  • ALS/Lou Gehrig’s disease
  • Arthritis
  • Autism
  • Cancer
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Chronic pain
  • Colitis
  • Crohn’s disease
  • Glaucoma
  • Hepatitis C
  • HIV/AIDS
  • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
  • Nail patella syndrome
  • Obsessive-compulsive behavior
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Tourette’s syndrome
  • Ulcerative colitis

Michigan also considers “chronic or debilitating disease or medical condition or its treatment that produces 1 or more of the following”:

  • Cachexia
  • Seizures (including but not limited to those characteristic of epilepsy)
  • Severe and chronic pain
  • Severe and persistent muscle spasms (including but not limited to those characteristic of multiple sclerosis)
  • Severe nausea

Along with having one or more of the conditions, a qualifying patient 18 years of age or older who applies for a Michigan medical marijuana card must also prove their residency with a valid driver’s license or state identification card.

Once you have seen the Veriheal-provided medical marijuana doctor and have been approved, you can begin the application to register for the Michigan Medical Marijuana Program (MMMP) with the Marijuana Regulatory Agency.

During the application process, you will need to verify your address and submit proof of Michigan residency after creating an online account. Acceptable forms for proof of residency include a state driver’s license number or personal identification (PID), or a signed Michigan voter registration. If using your voter registration, then you’ll also need to provide an additional valid government-issued document with your name and birthdate.

You will also need to provide the Michigan physician license number and your physician certification and pay the $40 fee for the state application, which must be renewed annually at the same cost. If a patient has Medicaid or receives SSI, they are eligible for a reduced card cost of $25 annually.

A patient must be a resident of the state with a driver’s license or identification verifying proof of address, be at least 18 years old, provide the $40 application fee, and have a physician’s certification confirming qualifying condition(s).

The total cost, including the $99 Veriheal certificate and $40 state fee, is $139.

A primary caregiver, like the patient, must first prove Michigan residency before applying for a card. Michigan accepts either a current driver’s license or a state identification card as adequate proof. Expired forms of identification are not accepted. Additionally, the caregiver must be added to the patient’s registration to be considered.

The primary caregiver must be at least 21 years old and not have a felony conviction to be able to assist a patient in the medical cannabis program. The cost for a caregiver card is $40, reduced from $60 in 2019. Caregivers are not required to pay for a criminal background check.

In Michigan, the state allows any adult to possess up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana on their person, with up to 15 grams of it being marijuana concentrate. Additionally, a medical patient is allowed to possess up to 10 ounces of cannabis for use at their residence, but any amount over 2.5 ounces must be kept in a container until use.

Furthermore, the state of Michigan mandates that “an adult may transfer up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana to another adult as long as there is no remuneration and the transfer is not advertised or promoted to the public.”

Michigan now allows citizens to grow marijuana even if they are not medical marijuana cardholders. Adults aged 21 years or older may legally grow up to 12 plants.

To renew your Michigan medical marijuana card through Veriheal, you’ll need to schedule a renewal appointment with one of our physicians. They can confirm that you still need medical cannabis for your qualifying condition and help you with the renewal process. We will remind you when it’s almost time for your renewal appointment, or you can reach out to our Customer Service Department so we can assist you and apply a renewal discount for you.

A medical marijuana card in Michigan is valid for up to two years.
