Voters approved Proposal 1 in November 2008, the "Michigan Medical Marihuana Act," removing state penalties for the use, possession, and cultivation of cannabis by patients in possession of a valid medical marijuana recommendation from their physician.
A 2018 initiative to legalize recreational use (the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marijuana Act) passed with 56% of the vote. State-licensed sales of recreational cannabis began in December 2019. The Act allows persons aged 21 and over to possess up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis in public, up to 10 ounces at home, and cultivate up to 12 plants at home.
Some cities and counties in Michigan decriminalized cannabis before the state legislation was passed. Famously, the college town of Ann Arbor decriminalized cannabis in 1972. However, most cities took steps many decades later, including Detroit, Flint, and Grand Rapids in 2012, Jackson and Lansing in 2013, and Mount Pleasant and Saginaw in 2014.
Michigan has a Social Equity Program. The Social Equity Program is available as a provision under the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act (MRTMA) to promote and encourage participation in the marijuana industry by people from communities disproportionately impacted by marijuana prohibition and enforcement to impact those communities positively.
How to qualify
Patients must be aged 18 or over to apply for a medical marijuana card for themselves. Minors can have Caregivers apply on their behalf. Leafwell does not qualify minor patients online. Minor patients (under 18) also need two MMJ certificates for two physicians.
Once you’ve been accepted, you must register with the Michigan Marijuana Program.
According to Michigan law, the following debilitating conditions may qualify you for a medical marijuana card in Michigan:
A qualified Michigan medical marijuana patient can grow up to 12 cannabis plants. However, these plants must be locked in an enclosed space. Caregivers are also permitted to grow/possess up to 12 marijuana plants.
You will need to declare your intention to cultivate when you apply for your Medical Marijuana card.
Caregivers
Some patients may be eligible for an MMJ Card but unable to apply for one themselves. For example, should the patient be a minor under 18, or if the patient needs assistance accessing medical cannabis, a caregiver can be assigned to complete the process on their behalf. Those under 18 will require a caregiver and two physicians’ medical cannabis certifications.
01
Caregivers must be aged 21 or over.
02
Caregivers fill out an application and must be listed on the patient’s application form.
03
Caregivers must not have any felonies relating to drugs or violence and have not been convicted for any crime in the past 10 years.
04
An individual can be a caregiver for up to 5 patients at any time.
