Michigan Medical Marijuana law came about in 2008 with a registry being administered by the Michigan Department of Community Health. The Michigan Medical Marijuana Act offers detailed information regarding the protection of use, and registration process. Qualifying patients will be informed of their acceptance or denial within 15 days of receipt by the Department of Community Health. To be considered a patient over the age of 18 must submit a registration application, a written verification of a debilitating condition by a licensed physician, and the personal information of a designated caregiver—if applicable. Qualifying patients under the age of 18 must also submit written consent from a parent or guardian. As listed in Medical Marijuana Michigan law, the qualifying medical conditions are:
Michigan Medical Marijuana Patients and Caregivers are limited to 2.5 ounces and/or 12 plants per patient, and may not consume in public areas. Caregivers may only cultivate and provide medication for up to 5 patients. Per the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act, cultivation is allowed, but must be kept in a lockable, enclosed, and secure area with access limited to qualified patients and caregivers. The Act has specific literature allowing for the compensation of a caregiver’s services, stating any monies received is not compensation for the sale of a controlled substance. As with all other states, there is no specific protection for qualified patients in employment or housing situations. Medical Marijuana in Michigan does not protect individuals registered in other allowing states. And, no insurance company is required to reimburse for any expenses related to the acquisition and proper medication of cannabis. |

Lack of Clarity Ends Badly For At Least One Michigan Medical Marijuana Businessman
Medical Marijuana patients in Williamston, MI most likely became abruptly sober when narcotics officers bust through the door of the Green Leaf Smokers Club with their weapons drawn. This private organization which provides a communal area for patients to congregate and medicate had been under scrutiny from law enforcement ever since the facility opened their doors. The patrons, all registered users, were forced to the ground, and only permitted to leave after showing officers their valid, state-issued, registration cards.
