Medical Marijuana

To apply for a license you must have a statement from your doctor saying you have a “debilitating medical condition,” submit an application to Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) and pay a $100 application fee. The MDCH will review your application within 15 days, and issue you an ID card if you are approved. This license gives you the ability to legally use and grow marijuana for your own use.
