Having a medical marijuana card in the state of Michigan, on the other hand, helps you to obtain larger amounts and buy medicinal cannabis at a lower taxation cost. Obtaining a Michigan Medical Marijuana Card online with My Marijuana Card is convenient and easy. We’ve put together this helpful guide to address all of your questions and help residents of Michigan understand the value of applying for their Michigan MMJ Card.
Who Can Apply?
To apply for a Medical Marijuana Card in Michigan, you must be a legal resident of the state of Michigan. Patients must be at least 18 years old to qualify for a medicinal marijuana card. Patients under the age of 18 must have a caregiver.
What Qualifies You As A Michigan Caregiver?
You must meet the requirements in the statutory definition of âcaregiverâ in MCL 333.26423(h). The Michigan Medical Marijuana Act (MMMA) can be found at www.michigan.gov/mmp
A person who is at least 21 years old and who has agreed to assist with a patient’s medical use of marijuana and who has not been convicted of any felony within the past 10 years and has never been convicted of a felony involving illegal drugs or a felony that is an assaultive crime.
How do I become a Michigan Caregiver?
A patient must submit one of the following to designate you as their caregiver:
- A complete Application Packet (if the patient is within 60 days of his or her registry card expiring OR the person is not a current patient with an active registry card)
- A complete Add or Change Caregiver Form (if the patient already has an active registry card)
Your valid state-issued driver’s license or personal identification card must be submitted with the patientâs Application Packet or Add or Change Caregiver Form.
Note: We will not accept an expired driver’s license or personal identification card. Caregivers may not hold any felonies including narcotics or threats and must not have been guilty of any felony in the last ten years. On behalf of the claimant, a court-appointed legal guardian or a Medical Durable Power of Attorney (MDPOA) with the authority to sign documentation and make medical decisions can apply.
The state of Michigan requires a Social Equity Program. The Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marijuana Act (MRTMA) has a clause to facilitate and support interest in the marijuana industry by citizens from groups who have been negatively affected by marijuana legalization and compliance, with the aim of positively impacting those communities. It is important to note that if approved, you must register with the Michigan Marijuana Program.
Can I find out the status of my patient’s application if I contact the MMMP?
No. Due to the confidentiality requirements in the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act (MMMA), our staff can only speak with the applicant/patient regarding the status of his or her application. The MMMA can be found on our website at www.michigan.gov/mmp

Marijuana use will result in up to 90 days in prison and/or a $100 fine.
Sale without remuneration is often a misdemeanor and carries the same fines as ownership. For remuneration, the prison term may be up to four years and/or a $20,000 fine.
