Get a Michigan Medical Marijuana Card Online

Yes, eligible Michigan patients can apply for a medical marijuana registry identification card online through the Michigan Medical Marijuana Program (MMMP). Patients must first obtain the required physician certification. The MMMP online application process is generally available to patients who are not designating a caregiver.

The Michigan Medical Marijuana Program (MMMP) charges a $40 application fee for a two-year registry identification card. This state fee is separate from any physician evaluation fee.

The Michigan Medical Marijuana Program (MMMP) has up to 15 business days after receiving a complete application to approve or deny it. After approval, the MMMP has up to five business days to issue and mail the registry identification card. The State of Michigan recommends allowing an additional 7–10 business days for postal delivery. For approved online applicants, the approval email can serve as a temporary substitute for a valid registry identification card until the physical card arrives or for up to 15 days from the date of the approval email.

Yes. Patients under 18 can register with the Michigan Medical Marijuana Program (MMMP), but they must obtain certifications from two different physicians. A parent or legal guardian must consent to the minor's medical use of marijuana and serve as the minor's designated caregiver.

Under Michigan law, a registered qualifying patient may purchase up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana or marijuana equivalent per day from a licensed provisioning center (dispensary). Medical marijuana purchases are also limited to 10 ounces over a 30-day period.

Adults 21 and over can shop at Michigan dispensaries without a medical card. However, you'll need one to purchase medical cannabis products.

Under the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act (MMMA), a registered qualifying patient may grow up to 12 marijuana plants for their own medical use if the patient is authorized to possess the plants. Alternatively, the patient's registered primary caregiver may grow up to 12 plants on the patient's behalf. Medical marijuana plants must be kept in an enclosed, locked facility as required by Michigan law.

Yes. Michigan recognizes valid, unexpired medical marijuana registry cards or equivalent credentials issued by other U.S. jurisdictions that allow medical marijuana use. Visiting qualifying patients must present their valid out-of-state medical marijuana card or equivalent credential and a valid government-issued photo ID when purchasing medical marijuana from a licensed Michigan provisioning center.

Whether another state recognizes your Michigan MMMP registry identification card depends on that state's medical marijuana reciprocity laws. Some states allow visiting patients with valid out-of-state medical marijuana cards to access medical cannabis, while others do not. Check the official medical marijuana program requirements for your destination state before traveling.

Yes. Adult-use (recreational) marijuana is legal in Michigan for adults age 21 and older. Michigan voters legalized adult-use marijuana in 2018 through the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act (MRTMA).

A Michigan Medical Marijuana Program (MMMP) registry identification card is valid for two years. Patients may submit a renewal application beginning 90 days before the expiration date listed on their card.

To renew your Michigan medical marijuana card, schedule a renewal evaluation with a Michigan-licensed physician. If you continue to qualify, the physician will provide the required certification for your renewal. Patients without a designated caregiver can renew through the Michigan Medical Marijuana Program (MMMP) online portal. Patients who have or wish to designate a caregiver must follow the MMMP's paper application process. You can submit your renewal application up to 90 days before your current registry identification card expires.
