Patients can submit their application online after receiving physician certification and providing the required documentation. Learn more about the Michigan medical marijuana card process and requirements.

How the Process Works

• Prepare your information: Have an accepted Michigan identification document and proof of residency available. You should also have relevant information about your medical condition and medical history ready for your physician evaluation.
• Complete your evaluation: Meet with a licensed Michigan physician by phone call or video for the required medical evaluation. The physician will review your condition and determine whether you meet the requirements for medical marijuana certification.
• Receive your certification: If the physician determines that you qualify, they will complete the physician certification required for your Michigan Medical Marijuana Program (MMMP) application.
• Complete the state application: After receiving physician certification, complete the required MMMP application and submit the requested information and documentation online.
• Receive your registry card: Once your application is approved, the MMMP will issue your registry identification card. You can then use your valid card at licensed Michigan dispensaries according to state requirements.

For Ann Arbor patients, completing the MMMP application online can make the state registration process more convenient for eligible patients. The physician evaluation and state application are separate parts of the process, so both steps must be completed before you can use your registry card at a licensed dispensary.

To qualify for a medical marijuana card in Ann Arbor, you must meet Michigan's medical marijuana program requirements, be a Michigan resident, and receive certification from a licensed Michigan physician. You will also need acceptable identification and documentation to complete the MMMP application.

What You Need

• Qualifying condition: Michigan recognizes qualifying conditions such as cancer, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C, ALS, Crohn's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and nail patella syndrome. Certain chronic or debilitating conditions that cause qualifying symptoms may also meet the program requirements.
• Age: Patients 18 and older can apply independently when they meet the program requirements. Patients under 18 may also qualify with a designated caregiver and must meet additional requirements.
• Michigan residency: You must be a Michigan resident and provide acceptable proof of residency.
• Valid identification: Have a valid Michigan driver's license, Michigan personal identification card, or other accepted identification available for the application process.
• Physician certification: A licensed Michigan physician must evaluate your medical condition and determine whether you qualify for medical marijuana certification.

Physician Evaluation

Having a qualifying condition does not automatically guarantee certification. Your physician will review your medical history and condition and determine whether medical marijuana is appropriate for you. If the physician certifies you, you can proceed with the required steps for the MMMP application and registry card.

The time it takes to receive a medical marijuana registry card in Ann Arbor depends on completing the required physician evaluation, receiving certification, submitting the Michigan Medical Marijuana Program (MMMP) application, and state processing. Patients can complete the MMMP application online after receiving physician certification.
