How Do You Obtain a Medical Marihuana Card in Michigan?

If you’re looking to obtain a medical marihuana registry ID card in Michigan, you’ll first need to be diagnosed with a qualifying condition or illness. Within the state, a variety of potential conditions can qualify a patient for their card. This includes (but isn’t limited to) cancer, HIV/AIDS, agitation of Alzheimer’s disease, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), arthritis, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), spinal cord injury, and inflammatory bowel disease.

Additionally, if a patient is affected by one of the following debilitating symptoms, they may also qualify for a medical marihuana card in Michigan:

• Severe nausea
• Severe and chronic pain
• Seizures (including those due to epilepsy)
• Cachexia (also known as wasting disease)
• Severe and persistent muscle spasms

To receive your card in Michigan, a qualifying patient will need to start by obtaining their own medical records. Then, you could either receive a written recommendation directly from your physician, or you can request your records from the doctor’s office.

As soon as you have your written recommendation or records, you’re ready to visit a Michigan medical marihuana clinic. You might be required to submit your records to the clinic in advance in the case of some clinics. A qualified doctor will review your records and perform a thorough exam to determine whether medical marihuana is the appropriate path to take.

Once you receive a written certification, you’ll be able to apply for your medical marihuana card. You can do this through the state’s site, or you can submit a paper application. To submit your application, you will be required to provide proof of Michigan residency, and pay a $60 application fee.
