Michigan Medical Marijuana Card Online

Yes, both recreational and medical cannabis are legal in Michigan currently. Michigan first legalized medical cannabis way back in 2008, and then a decade later, the state legalized recreational weed for adults 21 and older. 

To apply for a Michigan medical marijuana card, you’ll need a few different documents to prove legitimacy. First, you will need to fill out and complete the state’s application form.

You’ll also need a Physician Certification Form — which is in the Application packet. This is the form your doctor will fill out to certify that you have a qualifying medical condition.

Michigan also requires proof of MI residency. This can be a copy of your valid Michigan driver’s license OR your valid Michigan voter registration. (Keep in mind that if you use your voter registration, you’ll also have to submit proof of identity through any government-issued document demonstrating your name and date of birth.)

There are plenty of reasons that people choose to get a Michigan medical marijuana card. Primarily, though, having a medical card allows for various benefits that adult-use cannabis simply doesn’t offer.

For example, MMJ is going to cost you much less, as patients only have to pay a 6% sales tax for their product, while recreational consumers are subject to a 10% excise tax on top of the 6% sales tax. This makes adult-use cannabis much more expensive than MMJ.

Luckily for you, a Michigan medical marijuana card isn’t going to break the bank. The application fee for the card itself is only $40. Your doctor’s appointment will vary depending on where you go, but places like Elevate Holistics offer our services at low, affordable rates. You can book a first-time appointment for $105, or for $95 if you’re on Medicare or are a veteran.  

Yes, you can! Medical marijuana caregivers must be at least 21 years old and have never been convicted of any violent or drug-related felonies. Along with this, primary caregivers cannot have committed any felonies within the last ten years.

To become a caregiver yourself, you must meet MI’s requirements. From there, a patient has to submit either a complete Application Packet or a complete Add or Change Caregiver Form that designates you as their caregiver.

Along with this, you’ll present your valid state ID or personal ID card to prove identification. Then, you’ll wait for approval!

If you have a Michigan medical marijuana card, then you can possess up to 10 ounces of cannabis at one time.

Recreational consumers can only possess up to 2.5 ounces, with no more than 15 of those grams being cannabis concentrates.

Growing medical marijuana in Michigan is also legal for both medical and recreational consumers. Medical patients can cultivate and harvest from up to 12 cannabis plants in their homes.

Recreational consumers can grow up to 12 plants at once; however, you cannot cultivate more than 10 ounces at home. Both recreational and medical consumers must keep their plants in locked, enclosed spaces inaccessible to the public or minors.

Unfortunately, no, Michigan doesn’t offer medical marijuana reciprocity.
