Frequently asked. Frequently answered.
To qualify for a medical card in Michigan, patients must:
- be permanent residents of the state.
- be evaluated and certified by a state-licensed physician for one of the state’s qualifying medical conditions.
Patients under the age of 18 need a parent or guardian to approve of the treatment and serve as their caregiver in the program.
Qualifying conditions for medical marijuana in Michigan include but aren’t limited to:
- AIDS/HIV
- Arthritis
- Autism
- Cancer
- Chronic Pain
- Glaucoma
- Hepatitis C
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Seizures or Muscle Spasms (including those caused by conditions like epilepsy or Multiple Sclerosis)
Patients may also qualify if their condition or its treatment results in wasting syndrome, severe nausea, severe pain, or cachexia.
Michigan law gives the state Cannabis Regulatory Agency the authority to add conditions to the list of qualifying medical conditions. If your medical condition isn’t already on the list, you may be able to appeal to the agency to have it added.
Michigan also has a recreational adult-use cannabis program that allows people over 21 to purchase and cultivate their own cannabis.
The benefits of having a medical marijuana card in Michigan include:
- Tax Savings: Medical marijuana patients are exempt from the 10% excise tax applied to recreational cannabis sales.
- Access to More Dispensaries: Medical patients can access both medical and recreational dispensaries, while recreational users are limited to recreational-only shops.
- Wider Range of Products: Medical cannabis patients can access a broader selection of cannabis products designed for specific health conditions, including higher-potency strains and formulations that may not be available to recreational users.
- Legal Protections: Medical cardholders receive legal protection under Michigan law.
The cost to register for a Michigan medical cannabis card is $40. Patients are also responsible for the cost of a state-required medical evaluation, available through NuggMD for the guaranteed lowest price of $98. And with NuggMD, you’re approved for medical cannabis or your money back.
Currently, health insurance does not cover the cost of medical marijuana in Michigan. Since cannabis remains federally illegal, insurance will not pay for medical marijuana or the costs associated with obtaining a medical marijuana card. This may change in the future if federal laws around cannabis are updated.
It can take up to 20 business days after submitting your application to receive your Michigan medical card by mail. The Michigan Medical Marijuana Program (MMMP) must approve or deny applications within 15 business days. Once approved, they have an additional 5 business days to mail your physical card.
With NuggMD, if you’re not approved get your money back, automatically. We believe everyone deserves access to a qualified medical cannabis doctor, and the cost of an evaluation shouldn’t be a barrier.
If you’re not approved for your medical marijuana certification, your evaluation is free.
If you sign up and pay for your evaluation, but then cancel before your evaluation, there is a small $10 fee for the payment processing.
Once you’ve been approved and issued your certification, a refund for services will no longer be available. Please send an email to support@nuggmd.com with the subject line “Refund Request” and a brief description of your issue.
We want to make sure you’re 100% satisfied with your purchase being that you, the customer, are the most important thing to us! Once a refund has been initiated, please allow 3-5 business days for the funds to transfer back to the card you used for the transaction. If any issues arise, please feel free to reach back out for further assistance.
Absolutely! Any state-licensed medical doctor can recommend medical cannabis in Michigan. Just be sure to provide your doctor with any relevant medical records, if possible, to help the evaluation process go more smoothly.
This depends on the state to which you’re traveling. Each state has different rules regarding reciprocity, and some don’t allow it at all. Check with your destination state to learn more.
Yes, but if you use ID from another state, you must show proof of residency in the form of a voter’s registration. For a complete list of documents needed for a Michigan medical marijuana card, see the Michigan MMMP adult registration instructions.
